Design Management with RSA 8.5: Effective Collaboration for Better DesignAgenda

Introduction – Good Design is Good Business

– Design makes your Software Better!

• Cheaper to use an eraser on the drawing board than a sledgehammer at the construction site.

• If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

• Good Design leads to Faster, Better, Cheaper Business results

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarksin a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

Design Management

Design Management is an ALM discipline that integrates software and systems design into the lifecycle

Just like requirements management, change & configuration management, and quality management

Rational Software Architect and Rational Rhapsody are IBM Rational’s industry leading software and systems design solutions

Design Management capabilities have been added to Rational’s Rhapsody and RSA product families to enhance their design capabilities with new team collaboration and lifecycle capabilities

What Does “Shared Administration” Really Mean?

Beta

Sharing a Jazz Team Server

– Less server infrastructure to manage

Common user Administration

– Only one place to define and administer users

Lifecycle Projects

– Easily create and manage your “projects” that use requirements, design, change management, and quality management



8

Design and Lifecycle Projects Creating project areas within a lifecycle project

– The Lifecycle Project Administration application uses the notion of a lifecycle project to manage your project areas.

– A lifecycle project groups multiple project areas that collaborate with each other. Rather than managing each project area separately, you can manage all of the project areas from this central lifecycle project.

– After associations are established between project areas, you can link their artifacts to establish traceability across the requirements, design, development, and testing phases of the application development lifecycle.

Impact Analysis – Design Centric View

Design Management 4.0 Beta includes a new graphical impact analysis diagram

– Includes both design and OSLC linked artifacts

An Analysis Configuration defines the parameters for the analysis

– Upstream level, downstream level, which links types to include

– Can be used be shared by multiple analysis

An Analysis applies the configuration to a selected element to perform the impact analysis

– Add and remove elements from impact analysis diagram

– Save and re-run at a later time

Summary

Design Management is an ALM discipline that integrates software and systems design into the lifecycle

Rational’s Solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management can now be extended with Design Management (beta) for broader collaboration and traceability across the lifecycle

The 5 ALM imperatives strengthen the value of software and systems design…

… and software and systems design strengthens the 5 ALM imperatives!

The Design Management capabilities have been added to the Rational Rhapsody and Rational Software Architect product families to enhance their existing design capabilities with team collaboration and lifecycle integrations capabilities
