Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM)

Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM) is implemented by integrating products on Jazz™ technology to connect the work of analysts with development and test teams. Current product integrations include Rational® Requirements Composer, Rational Team Concert, and Rational Quality Manager. Cross-product links support traceability, Web-like navigation, review, commenting, and status tracking across project repositories. These integrations build on the Jazz Foundation to provide a common approach to artifact linking, dashboards, security, and user interface frameworks.

Each Jazz-based product extends the functionality of the core Jazz Team Server. For example, each product includes extensions for additional data types and changes to the user interface.

C/ALM integrations provide the following capabilities:

Team members can use C/ALM integrations to achieve business objectives across the application lifecycle, as shown in the following figure and examples:
