DM in agile
One answer
Here are some videos that shows typical linking activies involving Design Manager and the CLM products:

Typically I'd expect links to be directed to some more specific elements within the DM repository, than the repository itself.
A a fine level of granularity, a UML Use Case in a Model in a DM Project Area could be linked to a Requirement in RRC.
A Subsystem or Package in a UML Model could be linked to a Story in RTC, if that UML package contains classes/interfaces that provide the functionality to implement that story.
At a more coarse grained level, you might want to link an entire Model to a set of resources in another CLM tool.
Do you have additional details about what you would like to achieve?
Do you use Rhapsody DM or RSA DM?
Thank you, Lara

i am fine with the level of granularity, yes i can link UML or any other design artifact with requirement or task/defect or testcase. but i need some top level container. I created one project of RRC, RTC, RQM and RSA-DM for whole organisation development. Now sub projects are categorize at Requirement Collection , release plan and test plan level. lets say there are two different development activities like finance application development and mobile banking application. now what i am planning to do i will create two requirement collections (in RRC) for each development activities. Requirement collections will contain all the requirements related to particular developement activity. Two release plans (in RTC) and all tasks/story will be the part of these plans and two test plans (in RQM) one for each. Now at RSA-DM level how to categorize, one option i was thinking to create two repositories one for finance application develoopment and one for mobile banking development all the designs related to finance app will be in finance repository and similar for mobile app design.
