About this task
When you plan an initiative or release, you decide what changes you include. You can represent
these changes in IBM® UrbanCode Release with
different types of changes. You can create changes or import changes from other applications. For
information about importing changes from JIRA, see Using the integration provider to integrate with JIRA. For information about importing changes
from IBM Rational® Team Concert, see
Using the integration provider to integrate with Rational Team Concert. Even if you import changes from another
application, you might need to create a change in IBM UrbanCode Release to
immediately record a change.
Procedure
- Click Changes.
- Click Add New. The Change pane
is displayed.
- From the Type list, select a type of change for the release. If the default change types do not apply to your release process, you can create custom change
types. See Creating custom change types.
- Specify a name.
- Optional: Use the displayed lists to select the change's status and severity and to associate the change
with releases, applications, and initiatives.
Note: To track its progress, associate a change with an initiative or both an application and a
release.
- Optional: Specify a detailed description.
- Click Save.
Results
The change is saved and associated with the specified release, application, or
initiative.
What to do next
Update the status of the change to reflect its current work state. Use the status of
changes to determine whether a release, application, or initiative can progress through your release
process. See
Reviewing changes in releases and initiatives.
