Objectives

Explore how the IBM Rational Solution from Collaborative Lifecycle Management:• Enables teams to collaborate in real time in the context of the work they are

doing, especially in globally diverse environments.• Enables projects to be managed more effectively by providing visibility into

accurate project health information drawn directly from actual work.• Automates traceability and auditability by managing artifacts and their inter-

relationships across the lifecycle, empowering teams to deliver more value.

Provide a hands on experience using IBM Rational Requirements Composer, IBM Rational Team Concert™ and IBM Rational Quality Manager to automate the software delivery process.

Imperative 1: Real-time planning

Don’t Do

Have plans that live outside of ALM environment where requirements, development and test plans are disconnected and managed separately, or not at all.

Plan across the entire team, not silos, by linking and populating development and test plans from requirements.

Rely on manual, error-prone updates. Practice continuous planning using lifecycle queries and project dashboards to respond to changing events.

Have plans that are separate from team activities and assignments.

Use plans that are fully integrated with execution where updating time spent directly from the work item makes easy to keep accurate plans.

Imperative 2: Lifecycle traceability

Don’t Do

Create silos of information with disconnected and incompatible tooling and terminology

Link deliverables and connect the dots so every deliverable has the proper upstream and downstream relationship

Email copies of deliverables to remote team members and break linkages

Share links to deliverables with related deliverables context including reviews and comments from other team members

Integrate by replicating data Link critical project deliverable so that the entire team have access to the latest version of the truth

Imperative 3: In-Context collaboration

10

Don’t Do

Create an environment of silo’d teams and disconnected data

Unified teams share linked data providing visibility into each others work.

Manually collect status reports or wait for status meetings to take action

Collaboration is also about knowing what is going on without having to ask. Dashboards and traceability views provide real-time status of the team’s progress.

Rely on email discussions. All discussions in work items integrated on the plan. Use lifecycle queries to answer more meaningful questions such as “Which requirements are affected by defects?

11 IBM Rational Solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management

Don’t Do

Manually collect data by hounding the team for status reports.

Use live dashboards that provide transparency of information and dashboard reports based on data coming from the team’s activity.

Take a ‘big bang’ approach to instituting measures Identify a weak spot or a current pain point or bottleneck.

Don’t expect to get it right the first time. Conduct retrospectives to discover what worked, what didn’t work, and how you can improve.

Imperative 4: Development Intelligence

12 IBM Rational Solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management

Imperative 5: Continuous process improvement

Don’t Do

Define a process and place it on a shelf Use a tool that can ‘enact’ your process definition and guide the team toward the desired result.

Ignore process altogether or treat it like an unnecessary burden.

Learn from what other teams have done and leverage their results across other teams when appropriate Ignore process altogether or treat it like anunnecessary burden.

Institute process police Let the tool govern behavior and refine it over time. Add peer reviews to encourage knowledge sharing and collaboration.
