Why do projects fail?Understanding the software and systems

engineering lifecycle

1. Unstable, changing requirements (95%)

2. Inadequate quality control and poor

quality measures (90%)

3. Inadequate progress tracking (85%)

4. Inadequate cost and schedule estimating (80%)

5. False promises by marketing and sales personnel (80%)

6. Rejecting good schedule estimates for arbitrary dates (75%)

7. Informal, unstructured development (70%)

8. Inexperienced clients who can't articulate requirements (60%)

9. Inexperienced project managers (50%)

Installations typically include CCM and a subset or all of RM, DM, QM

– The CCM application supports work planning and tracking, which is of interest to

most users and the reason CCM is part of most installations

– Licenses are not required for installation. Licenses are required for use.

The Rational SSE solution spans the development lifecycle

– CCM, Change and Configuration Management

– RM, Requirements Management

– DM, Design Management

– QM, Quality Management

Role based licensing

● Installations often include all applications, but can be a subset

The following product license names unlock some or all of the above

*DOORS 9.x license entitlement also allows usage of DOORS NG Analyst instead of ‘classic’ DOORS (but not vice versa) hence

users migrating to Jazz can leverage existing DOORS real estate on the new Jazz™ platform also (preserving existing investment).

Open Services for Lifecycle Traceability (OSLC)

● Lifecycle element are

published web resources

(via URIs) that support:

Rich hover

Navigation between tools

Access via web browser

Data is preserved in location

Loosely coupled/

highly cohesive

Backward compatible APIs

Open Service for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) is

an open community, originally proposed in 2008, to

define a set of specifications that enable integration of

software development and more broadly Application

Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Product lifecycle

Management (PLM) products and services. The

intention is to make life easier for software and product

developers and tools vendors, by making it easier for

tools to work together

Benefits of Jazz platform● Easy to deploy: Server install – no client-side components using 100% web browser

access creates zero client footprint, zero additional cost. Simplified IT costs for back-

ups, maintenance and upgrades.

● Easier to manage: Lifecycle test plan automation reduces labour-intensive,

repetitive processes allows team to focus on real engineering and business needs.

● Multi-discipline collaboration: Across lifecycle collaboration keeps team in synch

to help reduce downstream rework, defects, cost. A modern look and feel that makes

it easy for a multi-disciplinary team to share and collaborate on lifecycle data (tests,

requirements, etc.).

● Open standards: Use of open standards (OSLC) to publish lifecycle artefacts as

URIs for linking to 3rd party products without needing peer-to-peer integrations.

● Greater status reporting insight: Constant access to quality metrics presents

results against business and system objectives for project status, risk areas and

product quality using dashboards.

● Automation of common tasks: Automate and control common tasks and workflows

to build repeatable, optimized workflows reusable across projects. Creation of test

plans from requirement collections.
