Work Item Templates

� Work item templates allow

you to create a set of work

items in an automated fashion

and populate them with preset

attributes and links

� For example: Work items that

reflect repeating tasks in

different iterations can be

created simply by instantiating

a template for each iteration.

� A work item template wizard

makes it easy to capture and

create new templates.

New Pre-conditions for work item state transitions

� Preconditions for the work item Save operation have been enhanced to provide better control of what state transitions (actions) can be performed on a work item.

� It is now possible to:

� Request an E-Signature when changing the state

– E-signatures are not just for approvals now but any state change

� Require prior approval to change a state


5

Symbolic link support in Jazz scm

� Are you using ClearCase or another scm that supports symbolic links?

�Rational Team Concert has added symbolic links as first class objects

�Symbolic link changes are tracked – just like directory or file name changes

ln -s ./v2.0.0.2/readme.txt readme.txt

Enhanced Scrum Template : Simplifies getting started with Scrum

� We've simplified the Scrum process template so that it's even easier to get your project up and going. The existing Scrum template is still included, but deprecated.

– Project areas are no longer required to have team areas

– Sprint, release, and product backlog plans are created automatically

– Single project dashboard with a summary of all information, instead of a dashboard per team area

– Fewer categories, making it easier to quickly create and organize work items and plans

– Uses a backlog iteration to manage project backlogs


IBM Confidential7

Agile Planning simplified – from the web-UI

� Easily navigate from one plan to another using the related planslink.

� Looking at a Sprint plan and want to open the Sprint backlog?


IBM Confidential8

Agile Planning simplified – from the web-UI

� Editing work items in the web client became much simpler. Place your mouse over the checkbox to reveal actions related to the work item.

� create new work items at the specified position

� modify the work breakdown� Re-assign or re-plan work items

� Hovering the mouse over a value reveals the name of the column


IBM Confidential9

Agile Planning Enhanced – Continue work items across sprints/iterations.

� You reach the end of a sprint but are still in the middle of something.

� Now you can simply carry over the work to the next sprint/iteration

� This will automatically :

� Create a new resolved work item (with an estimate matching the task's time spent value)

� Re-plans the task for the next sprint (adjusting the estimate by subtracting time already spent)

� Links both work items to each other


IBM Confidential10

SCM – Simple, web-based, document versioning

� Have technical writers who need to version documentation (Word docs or PDF files) using a web UI?

– Don’t want to know about streams or accept/deliver, just want to version

and store documents?

– Easily manage locking to ensure exclusive write access


11

Image files and hovers in the Jazz scm web-UI

� Are you working with versioned image files?

� Do you need to version image files in a simple way, outside the IDE?

� Rich hovers support allows you to hover over versioned images to see a thumbnail

view of the image.

� Great for technical writers, graphic artists or games developers.


12

Visual Studio: Access Reporting from inside the IDE

� Visual Studio users

�Access project

reports from within the IDE

�Reporting folder in

Team Artifact

Navigator

�Create and view

reports without leaving the IDE

Visual Studio: Work Item History in Team Artifact View

� Work Item History:

�Tracks recently

accessed work items

� Drag and drop work items into three views:

�Pending changes view

�Work item list view

�Work item history view

� Example: Dropping a work item onto a change set in the Pending Changes view is a fast way to make a work item association


14

Visual Studio: Allow partial check-insVisual Studio: Support configurable diff/merge tools

� A new preference on the Tools > Options > Source Control > Jazz Source Control page lets you control the check-in behavior for large sets of files.

� We have also added configurable merge/diff tools, like

Implementing C/ALM with RTC 2.X

� Which versions should I choose to implement C/ALM?

�You can use any two or all three products together.

�Having the latest versions ensures you have all of the best we have to offer.

� In the table below we list combinations of recommended product versions. Choose any combination of versions from each row.

� It's important to note the products are upward compatible. For example, RQM 2.0. also works with RTC 2.0.0.1, and RTC 2.0.0.2.

� For latest, up to date, version matrix information see: C/ALM versions

Need to run RTC 2.0.0.2 with Eclipse 3.5.x?

� In RTC 2.0.0.2 it is possible to use a zip

install or a p2 repository

to install into an existing

Eclipse 3.5.x install.

� Installation Manager is

not supported.

� See the download

pages for RTC 2.0.0.2

for more details.

ClearCase Bridge and Connector Enhancements

� The ClearCase Bridge will now bring up the UCM Activity Change Set viewinstead of the Activities Properties view.

� ClearCase 7.1.1 will have a new button for navigating back from the UCM Activity

Change Set view to the Activity Properties view.

� The ClearCase Connector will now create symbolic links in Jazz Source Control on servers that support them.
