The most problematic stage of any Application Development Lifecycle is the deployment/release process. The phrase "It works for me" is the worst possible excuse for a failure of both development and operations teams to deliver on a value add to the business. Adopting IBM's release and deploy offerings into your Application Development Lifecycle will eliminate human error, reduce time to market, and ensure your application "works" instead of "works for me."
In this workshop we will do a deep dive into the latest addition to IBM's release and deploy suite of products, uDeploy. uDeploy's pragmatic approach to solving real-world deployment problems is a testament to its success in the marketplace. We will explore how uDeploy solves these complex deployment problems by walking you through the deployment of the Money That Matters JEE application and demonstrate how uDeploy fits into IBM's other release and deploy offerings that complement its functionality.

This workshop provides hands-on experience with the Rational solution for Governance of Application Development Outsourcing (GADO), featuring Rational Focal Point and Collaborative Lifecycle Management solutions. As organizations continue to grow their outsourcing initiatives, delegating critical aspects of the development lifecycle to trusted suppliers, they increase their level of risk. The GADO solution mitigates risk by enabling closer collaboration between an organization and its trusted suppliers, providing greater insight into work progress, with traceability from business drivers through tests, and increasing the governance over outsourcing projects. Explore the process from initial demand through implementation, focusing on these aspects of collaboration, visibility, and governance.

IBM launched the Rational Jazz initiative with a mission for improving collaboration across the software and systems lifecycle. This initiative led to the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), an IBM implementation of ALM on the Jazz platform. But Jazz is designed to support lifecycle tools from a variety of vendors and sources. This workshop introduces the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters and provides instructor-led, hands-on practice to show how you can apply these adapters for integrating Rational products with a number of third-party tools.

This hands-on workshop is a deeper dive into the out-of-the-box support of Rational Team Concert for scrum/hybrid scrum and agile development. You will get hands-on experience, covering the major benefits of Rational Team Concert through an agile development scenario. In particular, we will focus on: real-time planning and project/team management (project/release backlog management and sprint planning), developer/customer collaboration, individual planning, collaborative SCM, continuous integration, metrics, dashboards, reports, and transparency for agile development teams. We will highlight the newest RTC capabilities that are helpful in agile development teams and new agile-specific assets created to support your adoption. We will also cover: practical considerations to overcome common limitations of scrum with a disciplined agile delivery approach, enabling a scrum of scrums through RTC, using a kanban/scrumban approach with RTC, and supporting a hybrid scrum process configuration.

This hands-on session provides an in-depth look at the process of defining and managing requirements throughout the application development lifecycle. This workshop is intended for business analysts and project managers interested in learning how to use Rational Requirements Composer to effectively manage requirements. Attendees will: Import user requirements from an existing requirements document; create system requirements and traceability; analyze requirements; verify the requirements; review requirements, create a baseline, and sign off; manage changing requirements and perform an impact analysis; integrate the requirements with work items in RTC and test cases in RQM; and play with some new features of RRC for visual requirements definitions (sketching, storyboarding).

This workshop steps you through the enacting processes on Rational Team Concert. Process enactment includes describing the process to the team members and defining the process in RTC to automate and enforce it. The first part of the workshop illustrates the interaction between RTC and Rational Method Composer to describe and realize the process, and how to make basic project configuration changes in RTC. The second part of the workshop focuses on deeper work-item customization of RTC processes and projects. You will learn how to: set up RTC and RMC to support process development and process enactment; perform the entire process enactment lifecycle; create and update RTC projects from Rational Method Composer; efficiently customize a process for a single team; perform basic process customizations (description and definition); harvest process customizations so teams can re-use best practices; configure work items and workflows to tailor a project; and customize work items.

This workshop is a day in the life of Quality Professional Tanuj as he defines, tracks and executes the "JKE Money that Matters" quality plan. In the role of Tanuj, you will gain experience using Rational Quality Manager to plan the test effort and design the tests. However, as you begin to implement your test strategy, schedule pressures will force you to find new ways to start testing earlier and accelerate your testing using Rational Test Workbench. Learn how to begin integration testing even before all the components of your system exist and create automated tests that enable you to quickly assess functionality from component-level to full-system test. Gain experience in removing dependencies to the external components slowing down your testing efforts using the service virtualization capabilities available in Rational Test Virtualization Server. All this, while keeping the whole team in touch with your progress through Collaborative Lifecycle Management solutions.

This workshop is designed to highlight the document-generation capability from within the Rational suite of software delivery tools, called the Rational Publishing Engine (RPE). This technology brings industry-proven functionality to generate high-quality, richly formatted and professional-looking documents from your development tool data within a matter of seconds or minutes. This workshop will highlight why your development organization should make a relatively small investment in RPE because it will save your organization large amounts of time, resources and effort for all of your specific document-generation reporting needs.
