Agile ALM Workshop

Why an Agile ALM solution?

The IBM® Rational Solution for Agile Application Lifecycle Management (Agile ALM) provides an integrated set of capabilities to support agile delivery needs

The solution is targeted at customers struggling to adopt agile in an enterprise context (need to scale)

Enterprise challenge Benefit provided by this solution

Lack of core agile skills; difficulty determining where to start, how to perform daily work, how to scale

Out-of-the-box best practices and supporting templates get you up and running quickly and support day-to-day usage

Poor collaboration and lack of transparency with customers and between teams

In-context collaboration, real-time planning and customizable dashboards keep everyone communicating and on the same page

Heterogeneous environments, both process and tooling

Jazz-based platform supports integrations with IBM , 3rd party and open source tools. RTC supports a variety of development lifecycles

Balancing agility with governance Governance “baked into” tools with process enactment support and in-context guidance
