With a central repository and an integrated change control process, Rational Change improves communication and collaboration throughout the development lifecycle and across the enterprise.
Rational Change provides advanced tracking and powerful reporting on change requests and their associated tasks, files, requirements, and other information. Rational Change is tightly integrated with IBM Rational Synergy, enabling full traceability between customer requests, the changes that implement them, and the releases that deliver them; enabling project management by sets of change requests; providing advanced reporting on configuration contents and baselines.
Rational Change is highly customizable, with a workflow that can be used to configure data types (change request, implementation request, requirement CR, incident, and so on), lifecycles per type, user roles (developer, tester, report writer, and so on), security and access control, and user home page information.
Rational Change integrates with other products, such as IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational ClearCase®, IBM Rational System Architect, and HP Quality Center.
