Earlier this year, we did something that shocked a few people. We moved our internal technical learning spaces outside our firewall and opened them up to everyone. In essence, we’re expanding our definition of enterprise learning to include our clients or anyone else who needs to gain basic competencies and connect with others … and this is free and scalable. We call these spaces learning circles.

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.

For those of you who were excited about our first Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)-based adapters, we’ve just released v1.1 of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters with some great new features.  You may remember that we released three OSLC-based adapters for HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Atlassian JIRA, and Git as part of the […]

Over the last ten months the DOORS Next Generation team released four betas with increasing capability and performance.  It’s been fun to see the capabilities emerge milestone to milestone (lots of work, but fun and gratifying too).  We’ve enjoyed the interaction we’ve had with those of you in our beta and design partner programs as […]
