Practices

To help your business improve how it develops and delivers software and systems, IBM® Rational has developed a set of best practices called IBM Practices. The IBM Practices are techniques for achieving technology and business goals, and for solving common problems along the way.

IBM Practices are geared toward Agile development teams, and include guidance on how to adopt each practice and customizable assets to get you started. Each practice can be adopted on its own, or in concert with other practices.

Each practice targets specific business objectives, such as time-to-market or increased productivity. Selecting a practice to adopt is as simple as deciding what business objectives you want to address.

The IBM Practices are designed to be tool-independent: They do not require that you use Rational software. However, Rational software products are designed to promote and support IBM Practice adoption. In relevant places in Rational product help, you will find references and links to information about corresponding practices. Follow the links to learn more about how adopting particular practices can improve your development and delivery.

The IBM practices for the Rational solution for SSEcan be found here: Rational Solution Process Assets. These assets are available at no extra cost to customers with active IBM Rational Method Composer or IBM Rational Method Composer Content Reader licenses.

Jazz.net

Jazz.net is the community site for IBM's Jazz technology and the products that are based on Jazz technology. The website contains a wealth of articles, tips, downloads, and forums. It is the site where IBM self-hosts its Jazz development work, which means you can interact directly with the development teams and other community members.
  • The Jazz.net Library contains articles, presentations, podcasts, and more.
  • In the Jazz.net forums, you can share information with and get help from other users of IBM Rational products.
  • The Jazz.net Community is where you can connect with and participate in the wider Jazz community.

Deployment wiki

The Deployment wiki provides deployment-specific information and guidance for Rational products that extends beyond the basic product and support documentation.

The scope of the wiki is the full range of Rational product sets and solutions, but it focuses on advice for those that are most commonly deployed. The wiki assembles deployment information from many locations into a single community-developed and community-managed knowledge base.

The wiki provides more specific information about deployment situations and scenarios than the general information in the product help, and includes the following sections:

Community members are encouraged to participate in the wiki by commenting on topics and by applying to become contributors.

Learning circles

A learning circle is a community space where people come to learn about a subject. Learning circles offer targeted resources and guided learning activities that are selected by subject matter experts. Use learning circles for these purposes:
  • To build your learning roadmaps
  • To discuss learning activities with other learning circle members so that you can deepen your understanding or help others
  • To ask questions or join a conversation in the community forum: a place where you can ask your getting-started questions
  • To blog about your ideas and experiences, and learn from others' blog posts
  • To find experts and more resources
