Process templates

Process templates provide a starting point and guide for a project area process configuration and iteration structure. They can include process documentation in HTML format. You apply a process template when you create a project area; the process can then be modified in the project area or its team areas, independent of the template.

You can create templates from scratch or from existing project areas. Templates are specified in XML using a schema that can be extended by configuration point declarations. You can edit templates using source and high-level editors.

Rational Team Concert™ includes a set of templates for common processes, such as Scrum and OpenUp. These templates have been externalized to support translation of text strings into numerous locales. When you create a project area and choose to deploy one of these templates, you can select the locale. You can also externalize a process template that you create to support translated versions. Templates for additional processes can be downloaded from jazz.net.
