Process management

IBM Rational® process management solutions align repeatable, enforceable, and predictable processes to develop and deliver better software and systems.

IBM helps you to reuse objects, methods, and processes to speed application development, to streamline project startup, and to build confidence in estimating consistency, which in turn helps you deliver high-quality software and systems more rapidly.

Rational process management solutions uniquely separate reusable core method content from process definitions and frameworks. This separation maximizes your flexibility to rapidly tailor and deploy the right processes at an organizational or individual project level -- at the right time, from inception onwards.

Rational methodologies are based on an extensive library of internal and industry best practices that support the entire software and systems development and delivery lifecycle . This framework helps guide teams to assemble and deploy optimized work products, improving your delivery effectiveness and predictability while reducing risk.

Published methodologies can include skill alignments, risk mitigations, and all necessary documentation to avoid reinventing the wheel through predictable and consistent approaches.
