Creating a change control lifecycle in RTC?
Good day,
In the next few months, I am going to need to use a change control tool. I see that RTC allows users to version control their software. However, I am also looking for the ability to create a change control lifecycle wherein I use a Change Request (Problem Report or Enhancement), and a Change Proposal.
I know that the Change Request and Change Proposals can be customized in IBM Rational Change. Can the same features be done through RTC or is RTC more of a project management tool?
Thanks!
Mary
Accepted answer
Mary,
yes, the same can be done in RTC. In fact, it is a core capability of RTC, tightly coupled with its SCM, Build and project management capabilities.
You can find an overview of the work item capabilities here: https://jazz.net/library/article/1003
In addition RTC has many ways to customize and enforce process, either by built-in pre- and post action triggers or with strong integrations into e.g. process management tools such as Stages.
If this answers your question please mark it as accepted,
