Almost all customers are using lifecycle

tools from more than one vendor

Almost 90% rely on

disparate toolsto work together

This presentation is for you if …

You’ve invested in, or are interested in buying, one or more Rational products, but…

You’re committed to using 3rd-party tools, possibly including open source

You cannot replace those tools, at least not right away

Might want to migrate to a broader Rational solution, but cannot do so right away

… and therefore need to have the Rational products coexist and interoperate with your existing environment

Next


Consider the following situations

Problem Need

Defects entered/managed in multiple tools creates inconsistencies

Unified defect management

Reports from individual tools cannot be consolidated

Unified reporting and control

Development & test artifacts don’t trace to driving requirements

Requirements traceability

Unable to collaborate with organizations outside of my company or control

Supply chain connections

Non-development stakeholders have no insight into what dev is doing

PMO–development visibility

How can you do these things in a mixed lifecycle tool environment?
