RTC and CQ each have their respective strengths. The benefit of integrating them via the CQ Bridge is that your users can have "the best of both", i.e. obtain all of the respective benefits of RTC and CQ. For example, suppose you have designed a complex and powerful change request management system in CQ, and you want to get all of the planning capabilities of RTC. Through use of the CQ Bridge (and the underlying OSLC API implementations), you can seamlessly create RTC tasks directly from your CQ change requests, and your users can then navigate between those tasks and change requests by just clicking on the links that appear in both the CQ records and the RTC work items. Or you can just hover over a link with your mouse, and get a pop-up summary of what appears on the other end of the link.

Hi Shuchita,
RTC adoption is a flexible process. Depending on the constraints you set (e.g. keeping CQ in the loop), the end user will start benefiting from some of the RTC features while others remain provided by "legacy" tools. Integration will also introduce some control capacity on the process. For more details about the benefits (and associated business cases) of such integration, I advise you to have a read at this article : https://jazz.net/library/article/581 and - in your particular case - at the section named "ClearQuest Synchronizer".

Hello Shuchita
CQ and RTC both provide you with ChangeManagement facility, knowing this would usually raise such concerns. The benefit that RTC provides you along with ChangeManagement feature is that you can dive into Planning and Development capabilities of RTC. In enterprises that have been using CQ for a while and are now planning to use RTC, it would be difficult to just stop using CQ suddenly and move over to RTC. Hence one of the benefits is to use the Bridge and connectors. This way you could migrate/sync all your change management records in to RTC and do the planning and sync back the changes that happened in RTC back into CQ. This is just one of the use cases.. |
