I recently spent time in Korea helping our customers understand Jazz Extensions and OSLC.  Many of the questions came from people who are very familiar with Rational ClearCase and ClearQuest.  As we discussed Jazz and Rational Team Concert, they kept trying to tie the Rational Team Concert concepts back to the concepts and terminology that […]

In April I was invited to speak about Jazz, the Jazz Integration Architecture, and Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) at a Mechatronics Council Workshop for the CPDA in Cincinnatti, OH. CPDA stands for Collaborative Product Development Associates, LLC. After some research, I learned that they are focused on product lifecycle management, and that they […]

As you may know, IBM has been involved with creating and delivering complex, embedded systems for over 50 years now, starting with the earliest days of the NASA space program. The acquisition of Rational and then Telelogic further expanded our knowledge and footprint of Systems Engineering and embedded software development over the recent past, and […]

In the first half of this 2-part series I discussed my tips, tricks, and experiences in using Rational Team Concert to get up to speed with the world around me. In this article I’ll discuss the features and time savers I use when I’m developing in this environment. Some of the tips are specific to […]

In 2008, the Jazz team released the first version of Rational Team Concert, the first product resulting from the Jazz project. 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 […]

We are pleased to announce Beta 1 of the Rational Workbench for Collaborative Lifecycle Management. This project is an evolution of our Collaborative ALM effort focused on bringing together software development activities across requirements, development, build, and test. Our goal with the Workbench is to improve collaboration and productivity for teams using joint deployments of […]

In this video we demonstrate (using M6) how teams can link and populate plans by leveraging each other’s work. The demonstration starts from a requirements collection. This collection is linked to a development plan. The development team can populate a release plan with work-items that have links back to the requirements. Next, the testers link […]

I finally found some time to go through the video interviews that I filmed while I was at Innovate 2010 earlier this month in Orlando, FL. I was able to track down a few Jazz developers, including Erich Gamma, and I also got a few customers and partners to share a few thoughts as well. […]

You may have noticed the appearance of a new project at Jazz.net called Rational Workbench for Collaborative Lifecycle Management. This project is an evolution of our Collaborative ALM effort focused on bringing together software development activities across requirements, development, build, and test. Why is this important? The activities involving requirements, development, build and test are […]
