Migration in place Customers using ClearQuest may want to modernize their ClearQuest schema and
ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management Packages can be added to their existing schema with immediate improvements

CQALM Agenda
Diverse workflows
ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management is a third generation approach to ClearQuest schema design
Gen 1: Monolithic records
Gen 2: MultiSited monolithic records
Gen 3: MultiSited parallel role-based records
With ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management , bringing all areas of your organization into one process no longer means everyone must follow the same workflow.
Workflows (Practices) can vary widely within a Project and across multiple Projects without losing general accountability of progress.
Component Based development, even tracking in combined Hardware and its embedded software with their differing workflows is supported

CQALM Agenda
Incremental Adoption of Jazz-based technologyClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management architecture was used as
a model for the design of Rational Team Concert Bridge to ClearQuest
Now with ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management and the Rational Team Concert Bridge to ClearQuest, you can take advantage of the power and flexibility of ClearQuest using your embedded knowledge base while supporting the early adaptors of RTC and RQM
all without losing the ability to track development in
– ClearQuest
– Rational Team Concert
– Rational Quality Manager.
The decision no longer needs to be an 'All or nothing' adoption of Jazz-based technology.

CQALM Agenda
Scalable Agility
Three dimensions of scalability:Functional scalability: ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management is
integrated with Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, RequisitePro, ClearCase Unified Change Management (and other content management systems) and Build Forge.
User and record volume scalability: ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management is designed to support Large and small scale ClearQuest MultiSite for geographically distributed development as well as web-based ClearQuest single site.
Process scalability: Agile, normal and well-governed ClearQuest Application Lifecycle Management models are supported.

- “This is an amazingly well done and provides depth detail on the ALM process in general, as well as appropriately positioning the Rational tools that are well suited
to supplement the process. The figures provided are excellent "snapshots" of parts of the process as well as for showing where the tools fit in the process steps.
Thanks so much for this Redbook!!!!!!!!!”
