Hi,
We're planning to try Design Manager. Currently we're using CCM and RQM.
Is it possible to use Design Manager without Rational Software Architect. What I understand is that Design Manager is an extension of RSA, so you still need RSA in order to create the diagrams. Am I right? Or is it possible to create diagrams with Design Manager too?
I´ll appreciate your help.

Hi Leonardo, your understanding is right. You need either of the modelling tools i.e. Rational Software Architect or Rational Rhapsody Design Manager as clients to create diagrams.
