On September 20, we posted Beta 2 (“CLM Beta 2 is available!”) of the CLM products. If you’ve been following closely, you may be wondering why you see Rational Team Concert’s latest milestone posted as Release Candidate RC1, and Rational Quality Manager posted as Milestone M10, so I’d like to give you an update on […]

Does Rational Team Concert support MultiSite? I was asked this question by a customer recently, and I realized that many customers who are familiar with Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest may be asking similar questions. ClearCase and ClearQuest have MultiSite features that enhance the base products to support teams distributed across a Wide Area Network. […]

Many of the developers on the Jazz team were also part of the original Eclipse effort, so it’s natural that we’d build on some of the same ideas. While our goal with Eclipse was […]

Being a recent graduate and a new member of the Jazz Foundation and RTC Reporting Team, I have had to learn Jazz from the ground up. In doing so I accumulated several tips and tricks along the way. I have divided these tips into two posts. This first part deals with finding the information that […]
