Session descriptions
| Session | Description | Duration | Presentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keynote: IBM Executive Introduction and Innovate highlights | An IBM executive welcomes attendees and shares key video highlights from the keynote presentations during the IBM Rational Innovate 2011 Conference in Orlando. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Best Practices for the IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management Solution | IBM Rationals solution for collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) is a turnkey application lifecycle management (ALM) solution. Based on work with hundreds of customers, IBM Rational has determined the best practices to consistently delivering high-quality applications on time can be summarized by the key concepts of real-time planning, lifecycle traceability, in-context collaboration, development intelligence and continuous process improvement. These are called the five ALM imperatives. This session demonstrates how the IBM Rational solution for CLM delivers on these ALM imperatives. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Feeling Trapped? Automated Conversion of Legacy Applications: A Modernization Strategy That Works | Come learn how businesses are reducing costs by minimizing or eliminating software licensing expenses, deploying to lower cost environments, and eliminating duplicate development tools and processes using IBM Rational solutions. IBM Rational Migration Extension and related services automate the conversion of legacy code and data to a modern language, development tool set, and database. Application transformation is low risk, highly maintainable, and highly flexible. This solution also increases responsiveness and time to market by reducing development time and enables reuse of proven applications. This session spotlights how other businesses have successfully migrated away from Software AG Natural/ADABAS, CA technologies, and legacy user interfaces to dramatically increase business agility, improve user productivity, and reduce costs. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Get the most out of your Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, Synergy, and Change Investment | As a Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, Synergy, or Change customer, you know change happens. Team are going agile, new regulations are driving the need to govern and automate new processes, and people and projects constantly move around. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Systems and Software Development Accelerator | Developing high-quality systems and software is a demanding process. As industries create more software-intensive systems, the execution of systems and software engineering takes a larger role in driving the quality and success of the product. A set of core processes underlies both systems and software engineering. These processes include requirements management, architecture and design, change and configuration management, and test and quality management. This presentation discusses the IBM Rational Solution for Systems and Software Engineering which supports the collaboration, workflows, tasks, and management of the work products essential to systems and software engineering. The IBM Rational solution for Systems and Software Engineering is comprised of the following tools: IBM Rational DOORS, IBM Rational Rhapsody, IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational Team Concert. | 75 minutes | Presentation |
| IBM Rational Solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management Hands On Workshop, Parts 1 and 2 | The IBM Rational collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution, powered by IBM Rational Jazz, increases team productivity by unifying team roles (analyst, project lead, developer, and quality professional). It provides in-context collaboration on software artifacts, web-like artifact navigation, automated and auditable traceability relationships, and status tracking across team and project repositories. The integrations are provided in an open and flexible way allowing teams to choose the integrations that matter most. This hands-on workshop explores how the integrations between IBM Rational Requirements Composer, IBM Rational Team Concert, and IBM Rational Quality Manager provide a collaborative software delivery experience. | Half day | Presentation |
| Introduction to IBM Rational DOORS and IBM Rational Publishing Engine Hands-on Workshop | This workshop shows the principles of requirements data migration and setup in IBM Rational DOORS. The session highlights many of the best practices to achieve the best importing results and data configuration inside of the IBM Rational DOORS requirements repository. Presenters outline requirements management, which includes an overview of the concepts for review processes, traceability, and milestone management. Attendees learn how current requirements and attributes data can be published to final deliverable documents/PDF based upon company or industry standard templates directly from IBM Rational DOORS and with the IBM Rational Publishing Engine. | 1 hour and 45 minutes | Presentation |
| Agile Systems Engineering: What Does It Really Mean? | This presentation explores the myths and realities of agile systems engineering and provides practical guidance on the approach systems engineers can apply to successfully support agile development efforts. | 90 minutes | Presentation |
| Disciplined Agile Delivery: The Foundation for Agility@Scale | Many organizations have adopted, and then tailored, a combination of Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) as they've adopted Agile strategies. But organizations successful adopting agile have found that isn't enough, that they also must read more. Many organizations have adopted, and then tailored, a combination of Scrum and Extreme Programming (XP) as they've adopted agile strategies. But organizations successful adopting agile have found that this isnt enough, that they also must adopt strategies for all aspects of the delivery lifecycle from start to finish. Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) is a hybrid agile process framework that addresses the full agile delivery lifecycle in a governed and enterprise-aware manner. In addition to showing the leadership and requirements management strategies of Scrum and the technical practices of XP, attendees learn how to successfully initiate an agile project, mitigate risk early in the agile lifecycle, and the issues that agile teams face transitioning their solutions into production. | 1 hour and 45 minutes | Presentation |
| Innovate with Confidence: How security enables the growth of your business | Consumerisation of IT, accelerated engineering breakthroughs, cloud proliferation, and many more advancements are all top priorities that span industry, regions and markets. However, these advancements can introduce new security threats so the challenge is managing that risk holistically, consistently and proactively across the enterprise. This session will address how the security industry can help drive business innovation, address dynamic regulatory and compliance challenges and embrace new technology securely and confidently. This session will also highlight IBM Security Solutions vision specific to research, services and technology and will give insight on how current clients are approaching the ever evolving technology landscape today as well as preparing for the future. | 1 hour and 45 minutes | Presentation |
| Where are the facts? Best Practices for Reporting on Information in Your Rational Application Lifecycle Management Solution | Organizations use IBM Rational Team Concert, IBM Rational Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS to effectively manage their development projects. As part of those projects, stakeholders must see how the project is progressing, and development teams must generate a report for them. But how should this reporting be done and what is the best method? This session discusses Rational's reporting strategy and how it is being rolled out with Rational Reporting for Development Intelligence (RRDI), Rational Reporting for Document Generation (RRDG), Rational Insight, and Rational Publishing Engine. RRDI will be the focus of the session, with details on what it is, how to get and install it, and the reporting capabilities it offers. | 90 minutes | Presentation |
| Why Cloud Computing Matters for Development and Test | Cloud computing is more than just the latest buzzword. The combination of technologies that make up "the cloud" can dramatically improve the effectiveness and efficiency of development and test organizations. This session explains IBM Rational's view of what cloud computing is and why it matters for an organization. Presenters introduce IBM Rational's cloud-based solutions that can help whether users responsible for development, test, or deployment. They also lay out the company's vision and roadmap for the future of cloud computing. | 90 minutes | Presentation |
