6. Sample Application & Integrated

Help

2. Consistent Platforms & Languages



In the 2.0 products, creating a cross-domain CLM solution required purchase and administration of multiple client licenses for each user, in addition to a license for each server

In the CLM 2011, role-based licenses enable role-appropriate read/comment access to the other two applications

Buy client licenses that are authorized, floating or token-based

No server pricing, no server editions

Simplified LicensingReduce Cost of Ownership & Administration

The server license is included with any CLM 2011 User LicenseReduce Cost of Ownership & Administration

Customers can now install as many servers as CLM 2011 user licenses purchased on any platform for any purpose!

Customer Benefits:

– Jazz Team Servers in CLM 2011 can run on ANY supported platform • (System z, System i, Windows, Linux, Unix)

– For ANY purpose• Support disaster recovery installations

• Maintain separate test or training configurations• Move servers between platforms w/o additional license fees• Enables teams who need many servers for physical security isolation• Simplifies trade-ups from other Rational products

– Easily change and grow your server topology without a licensing transaction

5



Role-based product license keys enable functionality in shared application architecture

LEGENDR = Read-only access

RW = Read/Write access

NOTES:1. All Jazz users have ability to comment on an artifact if they have at least Read ("R") access to the artifact and Read-Write ("RW") access to Jazz Foundation

2. The Jazz Foundation capability includes dashboards, review/comment, common reporting (without report customization), and server & project administration

3. Automation == Jazz Team Build with support for multiple build engines, including Build Forge. However, Build Forge licenses are sold separately

4. Point product and CLM deals will include a sufficient number of "RTC Stakeholder" licenses to support users just needing access to Change Management.

5. RTC Developer for Workgroups is distinguished from RTC Developer as follows:

•Limited to 50 licenses / server

•No floating licenses, but can be mixed with all types of Developer licenses

•No support for cross repository / distributed SCM

•No high availability support

6. An RRC analyst license is needed to modify the requirement type system and project/artifact templates

Flexible Deployment OptionsShared Application Architecture

Rational Team Concert Rational Requirements Composer Rational Quality Manager

Role-based license keys determine product capabilities enabled for each user

RTC, RRC, RQM or any combination RTC, RRC, RQM or any combination

a) Standalone products – same as 2.x. Each product has its own JTS, can be deployed on a single or distributed app server.

b) CLM solution deployed into a single application server, shared JTS

c) CLM solution deployed into multiple application servers for increased scalability, shared JTS

8



Integrated Installation and SetupSimplified Installation

A shared installation wizard

One download contains all three applications and the Jazz Team Server

Can install all applications on one application server or spread across systems for scaling

Total download size is smaller than the sum of the 2.x downloads.

Can run on a laptop

9



Integrated Installation and SetupNew Integrated Setup Wizard

Setup URL <your.server.name>:9443/jts/setup

Setup an entire CLM solution with one wizard improves your time to value A single setup wizard for use with all three applications making setup easier to

learn Set-up in less than 30’ (your performance may vary)

10



Unified AdministrationEasier to Set-up and Easier to Try

Manage users, lifecycle projects and applications from one home page

Create and manage users in one location

Create lifecycle projects from a single user interface

<your.server.name>:9443/jts/admin

11



Easier to Administer: User ManagementReduce Cost of Ownership & Administration A single user account across all Jazz tools and

A single admin UI for modifying those accounts

From this level of uncertainty:

RTC

Joe

Elena

Bill

Rachel

RQM

Joe

Rachel

RRC

Elena

Bill

To this level of clarity:

Joe: RTC, RQM

Elena: RTC, RRC

Bill: RTC, RRC

Rachel A.: RTC

Rachel B.: RQM

Is that the same Bill on RTC and RRC? Does Joe have all the rights he should? Are there two different Rachels?

Bill has access to RTC and RRC Joe has rights to RTC and RQM There are two different Rachels, Rachel A. and

Rachel B.

1. Shared Work items for all roles

3. Automated traceability

link creation

5. Improved Consum-

ability and Style

2. Track changes to

other artifacts

4. Linked Plans with

Gap Analysis



Shared Work items for all rolesStrengthen Scenario-based integrations

Everyone can create work items

Work items can be shared across all applications

Manage all tasks for a plan item or feature (for analysts, developers, testers)

Users interact with tasks in-context

22

Work items

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CALM2010LinkTypes



Track Changes to other artifactsNew Link Type: Tracks / Tracked by

25

Use work items to track changes to other artifacts using the Tracks, Tracked by link type

Leverage queries and viewlets to govern change requests

Examples:

A defects tracks a requirement = requirement is incorrectly written

A task tracks a requirement when there is work to complete a requirement

A task tracks a requirement when notifying others of request to change the requirement



Automated Traceability Link CreationIdentify a defect’s impact to other artifacts

Traceability links on defects are automatically created when you:

– Establish links exist across requirements plan items and test cases

– Run test case from Quality Manager, and submit a defect

26



Linked Plans with Gap Analysis Triage defects with awareness of their impact

See which plan items are affected by defects

See which requirements are affected by defects

Add these columns to your plan for real-time transparency of information

Use predefined queries against work items or in dashboards

Use link previews to see the status of the linked artifacts a defect is impacting

27



Links on Release PlansStrengthen Scenario-based integrations

28

Check for new requirements

All plans can be linked to provide insight into the full scope of a project, including requirements, development and test

Check for requirements gaps using a simple wizard

– Available in RTC and RQM plans



Improved consumability and styleReduces learning curve

29

Common banner facilitates ease of use› Capability menus for access to resources within a project

Handy features readily available at all times› Search interaction › Mini dashboard: your portable personal dashboard

New “Home” menu simplifies navigation within a lifecycle project› ‘Home’ menu for personal dashboard and project navigation

Common style including treatment, colors and fonts

Improving cross-application visibility and reports

31

1. Cross-application Reporting

4. Personal dashboards

5. Mini dashboard

2. Enhanced traceability views and

queries

3. Mashup dashboards



MotivationsImprove cross-product visibility and reporting

Linked artifacts across the lifecycle

– CLM delivers integrated products

– Need to be able to report on these artifacts and relationships

Consistency

– Reporting in the three CLM products has been an inconsistent story…

– …both for out-of-the-box and custom reporting

32



Common Data Warehouse (DW)

Out-of-the-box document-style reports (RRDG)

Custom reporting with Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI)

– Cognos-based authoring

– Viewing experience integrated into the CLM Web UI

Out-of-the-box development intelligence reports (BIRT)

(Optional) Custom document generation with standalone RPE purchase

33

Cross-application ReportingImprove cross-product visibility and reporting



Cross-application Reporting Architecture Shared Data Ware House enables reports across applications

Use out of the box Birt reports, step up to Cognos if you need to create your own reports.
