Software is integral to business success– Software is woven through systems, products and services, helping companies bring new – smarter –
innovations to market.
Market realities are pushing organizations to innovate with less– The ability to innovate is impacted by market realities such as increasing complexity, tighter budgets and
a more demanding competitive landscape
Integrated Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) provides the ability to innovate while reducing overhead costs
– Improve time to delivery, quality, value, and predictability with integrated Application Lifecycle Management combined with best practices for scaling agility.
The IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management Solution provides capabilities that fully support an integrated ALM approach
– Allows organizations to coordinate people, processes, and tools for requirements management, development and quality management by providing traceability across lifecycle artifacts, process definition and enactment, and reporting.

What is required to deliver end-to-end visibility across teams, tools and projects?
www.strongback.us
Criteria for effective lifecycle management: ALM imperatives
1. Real-time planning
2. Lifecycle traceability
3. In-Context collaboration
4. Development intelligence
5. Continuous process improvement
27
www.strongback.us
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.

No wasted effort – development is qualitative and aligned to the agreed upon requirements at the right time
Quality Assured – test teams know exactly what requirements and functionality have and haven’t been tested
Whole team buy-in improves team trust, efficiency and focus
www.strongback.us
Test your real-time planning capabilitiesCan your team…
Plan across the entire team?
Plan for waterfall, iterative and agile environments?
Integrate planning with execution?
Instantly see the impact of a change in project scope or resources?
32
www.strongback.us
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

Linked data is visible on all artifacts
All roles can view the links on their artifacts.
Each user has their own perspective and user interface for viewing links.
Create, delete, navigate links on artifacts
Example: Developer sees the relationships on a defect
Traceability links on defects are automatically created
36
www.strongback.us37
Automated defect traceability reduces costs and improves quality
4-clicks to submit a defect automatically linked to impacted artifacts
Test results are recorded and linked to test cases, and associated requirements
Test results can be linked to software builds
Everyone has visibility into the defects, their impact, and the action taken to resolve them Developers can see
the exact test failure without having to ask and remediate it

What is the quality of the build? What
has changed that I need to test?
What defects have been addressed since the last build?
How can I standardize when teams use different tools?
Where are the bottlenecksin our processes?
How can I speed up my builds?
Are build timesgetting longer
or shorter?
What requirementsam I implementing? What test
uncovered this defect,on which environment
and what build?
What changes occurred overnight?
How can I recreate thelast version to do a patch?
38
www.strongback.us
Imperative 3: In-Context collaboration
39
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?
39
www.strongback.us
In-context Collaboration always shows the latest
Unread work Items bolded for developers
Threaded discussions on requirements

40
www.strongback.us
Dashboards summarize for quick access to the latest information
Requirements comment updates
Feeds focused on Requirement comments focus stakeholders on changes and strip out the noise of attributes changes etc..
Any changes to a Requirement
Feeds on all changes give project leads visibility into all requirements changes so that know exactly what is changing by whom and can access immediately assess the impact for the team.

44
www.strongback.us
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 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.

The MarketScope is copyrighted November 11, 2010 by Gartner, Inc. and is reused with permission. The MarketScope is an evaluation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. It depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace, as defined by Gartner. Gartner does not endorse any vendor, product or service depicted in the MarketScope, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest rating. Gartner disclaims all warranties, express or implied, with respect to this research, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The MarketScope graphic was published by Gartner, Inc. as part of a larger research note and should be evaluated in the context of the entire report. The Gartner report is available upon request from IBM.
Efficient coordination and automation of the delivery process requires new, collaborative approaches to the planning, measurement, execution, control and reporting of activities.
These new approaches are what differentiate current application life cycle management (ALM) tools, and what make ALM processes vital to leading-edge development activities.
ALM is what enables sustainable agile practices. ALM creates a management framework providing consistent, auditable records of the decisions and activities of agile teams.
www.strongback.us
What analysts are saying... Liz Barnett, Ez-Insight
“With the Jazz project, Rational has developed breakthrough technology and is poised to set the standard for collaborative ALM... Given the current business climate of ‘deliver more with less much sooner,’ organizations have no choice but to rethink the ways that they deliver software solutions. The Jazz project will help teams achieve that goal.”
Paul Herzlich, Ovum“IBM has taken the opportunity to exploit the Jazz platform’s power inventively. Its ‘living’ test plan is a masterpiece of applying new technology to a familiar problem… What is being delivered will demonstrate convincingly that IBM is raising the standard for a test management product.”
Julie Craig, EMA“Rational’s differentiators are difficult for competitors to equal, and the new Jazz platform foundation may well turn out to be one of the best investments the Rational team has made.”
Simon Jacobson, AMR“Frankly I wish folks who sold quality management solutions took this approach. Most of the folks I speak to talk about the lifecycle, but they are selling you a mass transit system, but only really provide the train station.”
Dave West, Forrester “What collaborative application lifecycle management is going to provide us with as an industry is the idea that these people have to work together on a platform to support them…I think that’s really exciting.”
Bola Rotibi, Creative Intellect Consulting“Jazz’s intuitiveness and simplicity – for configuration, management, and implementation – is allowing IBM Rational to extend beyond its traditional enterprise audience and appeal to smaller and more agile teams and organizations… IBM Rational has embarked on a grand vision for the Jazz platform that is starting to pay off.”
