IBM Rational Solution for Systems and Software Engineering

Product and System Innovation Process Management and Enactment The engine of lifecycle management § Improve quality and predictability by leveraging proven practices and patterns of success § Quickly and easily compose rightsized project/team processes and deploy process, methods and tools to project § Surface process guidance in-context directly within practitioner tools to speed on-boarding, process adoption and return on investment in Rational tools § Simplify compliance with pre-defined methods and mappings to industry standards and regulations § Increase productivity and turn “know-how” into competitive advantage 2 © 2013 IBM Corporation

Product and System Innovation Practices - modular solution components Guidance for software & systems development, management, governance, and more § A practice is an approach to solving one or several commonly occurring problems – Practices are intended as "chunks" of process for adoption, enablement, and configuration – Address one aspect of the development process that can span disciplines/domains/lifecycle. § Practices apply the concepts of “components” or “services” to process management – Include associated tool guidance and tool configuration assets – Include recommended metrics to assess practice adoption (process metrics) and project status (product/project metrics) – Generally re-usable across a variety of lifecycle models § Practices enable a compositional approach to building methods with the following benefits: – Adaptability and scalability – Mapped to operational objectives – Incremental adoption – Easy to configure and use – Enable community development 3 Practice - Table of Contents § Motivation – why do it, benefits § How to adopt this practice § Enablement, and reference material § Key Concepts § Work Products – what you produce § Tasks – what you do § Guidance – how you do it § Tools guidance for executing the tasks § Recommended Metrics/Measurements § Related practices Results: ü Avoids self-inflicting too much process ü Faster and more predictable results ü Measured Improvement © 2013 IBM Corporation
