Collaborative ALM coordinates the software development activities across requirements, development, build and test.
What's New in Collaborative ALM?
Integrations are now available for Rational Team Concert (including System z), Rational Quality Manager, Rational Requirements Composer and ClearQuest.
- Weave a 'web' of ALM resources to collaborate, navigate, and track status
- Create transparency with mashup dashboards
- Collaborate across the team while working in the tool that best suits your role
- Choose the tools that best suit your needs by providing flexible and open integrations
Rational Team Concert for System z is also supported.
Integration features are built into each product, allowing you to choose which product combinations matter most to you. The integrations are provided in an open and flexible way as implementations of the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaborations specifications.
Supporting IBM Agility@Scale
The Collaborative ALM integrations help you scale your Agile practices across the development lifecycle.
As your team adds Agile practices, add a product and additional integrations are at your disposal. Scale in the direction that best fits your team.
- Elaborate user stories using Rational Requirements Composer combined with the Collaborative ALM integrations to Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager or both
- Support the Agile core using Rational Team Concert. When you're ready to add requirements management or test management practices, add the Collaborative ALM integrations to Rational Requirements Composer and/or Rational Quality Manager
- Support concurrent testing, test management and/or independent testing with Rational Quality Manager combined with Requirements Composer and/or Rational Team Concert

Teams collaborate by sharing information. The trick is making it easy for team members to find and link related artifacts in another repository without losing or changing their context.
The Collaborative ALM integrations provide the following features:
- Artifact Creation and Linking across disciplines
- Artifact trace-ability
- Mashup dashboards
- Configuration for cross-repository communication

A Common Foundation
The C/ALM integrations build upon the Jazz Foundation, which provides a common approach or security, artifact linking, dashboards, and user interface frameworks. In particular the 2.0 versions of Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, and Rational Requirement Composer build upon this foundation. See the Jazz Foundation project, the Jazz Vision or Jazz Architecture pages for more information.
