One of the advantages of using the SCM capabilities of Rational Team Concert (RTC) is the traceability of change sets across multiple streams and workspaces. When a developer completes a new feature or fixes a bug, they deliver one or more change sets to their team stream. These change sets can then be accepted into […]

I am currently the feature team lead and scrum master for the team working on the feature to improve gap handling in Jazz Source Code Management (SCM). We have been using the feature team model that was presented in the blog post Organizing our teams for Continuous Delivery and we thought it would be worthwhile […]

This week we released CLM 4.0.4, the next version of Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), and the latest quarterly release using our new continuous delivery model. Here we grow again As we continue to grow and evolve, we’re getting more familiar with the quarterly release cadence. Our continuous delivery pipeline was up and running consistently […]

I had the opportunity to travel to Agile 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee at the beginning of August to represent Jazz at the IBM booth.  I had a lot of fun chatting with other Agilistas and learning how they’re using Jazz applications to successfully run their projects. This was my first time representing Jazz at a […]

The following is the third posting in my Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) Continuous Deployment series of blogs on Jazz.net. The earlier two blogs can be found at Improving throughput in the deployment pipeline and Behind the scenes of the CLM Continuous Deployment pipeline. In Behind the scenes of the CLM Continuous Deployment pipeline, I had […]
