IBM Jazz Engineering Lifecycle Management (ALM)

Enable real-time communication between Analysts, Engineers, QA Members, Project Managers, DevOps Teams and more via threaded discussions, automated link validity check, notifications, alerts, powerful reports & more

Traceability achieved via Browser-Based Solution. You can extend the solution with Eclipse or Visual Studio and even make UML SysML Model Locally and review them in browser

Reuse of requirements, components, configuration management and global configuration management (GCM) through whole platform

Baselines & Snapshots – Browse, search and report any historical state of your project and compare it with the current state. The IBM Jazz platform provides a full audit trail, electronic signatures and helps you to ensure who can see which data

• Database-based requirements in a unique solution can be shown as specifications similar to Word, Excel, and can be edited simultaneously. Collaborate and get notified about changes impacting your artifacts. All artifact is accessible via a link and changes are tracked through history

• Get full control of the requirements by using configurable workflows which protects requirement text or attributes depending on the state

• Collaborate and get the requirements approved via collaborative reviews, via workflows, or decide if you allow delivering changed content based on the change request

• Import Word, Excel, ReqIF and get also beautiful reports out of the platform by using a configurable document builder. For reliable collaboration with external partners, you can use formats like ReqIF or Excel roundtrip 

• Take advantage of advanced preconfigured reports, charts, and templates. You can also create your charts with easy to use report builder and add them to your dashboard. Actual but also historical reports are supported

• Use preconfigured templates and strong controls like change requests, changesets, electronic signatures, and much more to ensure compliance with industry standards. Create specific reports templates to prove the compliance and pass audit quickly
• Link with work items (tasks, change requests, bugs) test cases, test steps, and with design elements (SysML UML) within seconds or automatically via collections and views

• Get full control of work items with configurable screens, workflows, electronic signatures, and compliance rules
• You can use agile, traditional SAFe, or hybrid process to adapt completely to your needs
• Allow project managers, developers, to work in their favorite environment (browser, IDE..) to get the highest productivity

• Connect to DevOps tool Like UrbanCode Deploy, UrbanCode Release, Git, Jenkins, Subversion, and hundreds more with preconfigured APIs and integration
• Time estimations for agile and waterfall methodology with stories, points, or based on hours and days allow you to work the way you want to. Over 500 Predefined reports show you progress, capacity, velocity and you can customize it to your needs
• Utilize "Quick Planner" designed to provide an intuitive task-based UI for rapid creation, review, and planning for work
  
• Compare project plans and the execution by using snapshots and review the history of the tasks easily
• Use cross-project planning and get automatically notified if a resource cannot perform the work within the defined time due to allocation to different projects
• Allow planning on several levels from business needs to architecture up to individual tasks
• Get work and code reviews automatically included in your process. Allow a high level of collaboration between all departments
• Link your tasks, stories, change requests, bugs, and more with specific requirements in specification, UML Model, test case, or even test execution record manually or automatically

• Rapidly move from design to implementation. The prototype, simulate, and execute designs for early validation

• Automate design reviews and generate documentation

• Work in an embedded, real-time agile engineering environment. Generate reliable code like Java, C, C++

• Establish state-of-the-art linking between model elements in Rhapsody and requirements management artifacts in IBM Engineering DOORS® or Engineering DOORS NG, but also to work items and tests

• Utilize enterprise Configuration Management capabilities to get support for fine-grained components. Leverage parallel development with merge capabilities for Rhapsody models
  
  
• Utilize collaborative design, development, and test environment for systems engineers and software engineers that supports UML, SysML, and AUTOSAR. Take advantage of reconfigured frameworks (DoDAF, MODAF, and UPDM) and comply with standards such as DO-178, ISO 26262

• Analyze and elaborate project requirements. Take advantage of UML and SysML Modeling

IBM Jazz integrated risk management functionality with Softacus AddOns allows you to conduct all the steps of a comprehensive risk management lifecycle:

1. Risk Identification, analysis, control, and closure
2. Classification and Assessment
3. Hazard Analysis
4. Compliance based Risk Reduction Plan
5. Risk Mitigation Actions
6. Documentation and Reporting

• Measure the quality over time to see how certain measures improved the quality of the products based on several issues, defects...

• Identify all possible failures, risks, harms, and hazards in order to plan and assign tasks to mitigate the potential risk
• Risk templates for work items and requirements provide you with capabilities to manage potential risks, following the standard Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach. You can automatically see the risk size, affected requirements, mitigation actions, and risk levels after the mitigation

• Implement the risk-based approach to development and test to get the most possible amount of work done with most of the risks covered

• Track problems, issues, and risks automatically. Find all relevant product variants where these issues are present and evaluate their impact on each product
