Drive out complexity in software design by engaging the extended team throughout the development lifecycle.

Design matters. To succeed in today's competitive marketplace, distributed, cross-disciplined teams must collaborate to understand and simplify complex designs and keep track of projects from initial ideas through delivery to market.

Subject matter experts, stakeholders and end users all need to be involved in design decisions throughout the development process. Too often, they are not, which results in unmet customer expectations, delayed releases and costly revisions.

That's a cost no organization can afford.

IBM® design management solutions can transform extended teams into a synchronized group that works collaboratively throughout the design process by:

Enabling engagement on designs with stakeholders from other teams for design correctness, alignment with requirements, feasibility and compliance to standards and regulations, resulting in reduced project slippage of nearly 85%.
Simplifying traceability of design elements to other lifecycle artifacts, such as requirements, and automating analysis to ensure the impact of change is understood and managed.
Leveraging IBM® Rational® Jazz™ technology to more effectively manage complexity, mitigate risk and improve the overall quality, speed and agility of software planning, development and delivery, with demonstrated improvement in productivity of more than 40%.
