Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management with IBM Rational Products

, , , ,

In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we provide a blueprint for Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (CALM) and show how the new IBM Rational® products support this evolving market. Driven by the business demands of global software delivery, many large organizations are seeking guidance in how to incorporate agile methods.

In this book, we provide a reference scenario and tool architectures for deploying the new IBM Rational products into an existing enterprise environment. We also provide a set of blueprints that define each of the key disciplines in the development life cycle to help you understand the domain and how the Rational products support the need of that discipline. Our primary focus is to highlight the value of CALM by providing a user view of the solution that is used to support a distributed enterprise development team that incorporates aspects of the “Agility-at-Scale” approach.

While most Redbooks publications provide details about a single product, this book provides a “green-thread” reference scenario that details one end-to-end path through an iteration of a software development project. The scenario demonstrates a reference architecture for an enterprise that uses the new Rational Jazz technology-based products along with the existing Rational team products. The scenario includes Rational Build Forge® Enterprise Edition, Rational ClearCase®, Rational ClearQuest®, and Rational RequisitePro®, and introduces Rational Quality Manager, Rational Requirements Composer, Rational Software Analyzer, and Rational Team Concert.

Collaborative ALM Interoperability White-paper on IBM DeveloperWorks

, ,

This whitepaper guides enterprise teams in adopting new Jazz-based tools to improve their team performance. Such teams are often expected to stay integrated with existing project or corporate change management workflows and require tool interoperability that integrates the new and existing change management tool solutions

Workbench for Systems and Software Engineering Redpaper Published at IBM Redbooks

, ,

Systems delivery is often divided into multiple categories, for example, systems engineering, project management, software engineering, and quality management. These categories interconnect across the systems delivery life cycle, performing distinct tasks and creating distinct life cycle work products. The IBM Rational Workbench for Systems and Software Engineering software is a life cycle management solution that supports such collaborative tasks and linking of the life cycle work products. The Workbench also enacts the systems delivery workflows and provides task management capabilities to effectively run the systems delivery project.

The new IBM Redpaper is intended for systems delivery teams who require an integrated solution for systems life cycle management for systems and software engineering. It illustrates how proven methodologies and best-of-breed tools, such as Rational DOORS, Rational Rhapsody, Rational Team Concert, and Rational Quality Manager, can help you design high-quality products that meet customer requirements during the innovation process for smarter products. The paper was produced by IBM Rational Solution Architect Mats Göthe and Chief Evangelist Bruce Douglass. We provide an expert look into the processes and best practices that enable effective product development.
