Session descriptions
| Session | Description | Duration | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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 this isn't 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, learn how to successfully initiate an agile project, mitigate risk early in the agile lifecycle, weave governance into the lifecycle, and the issues that agile teams face transitioning their solutions into production. | 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 |
| 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. Teams are going agile, new regulations are driving the need to govern and automate new processes, and people and projects constantly move around.
This session is for Rational Change and Configuration Management (CCM) customers to learn about:
| 75 minutes | Presentation |
| Systems and Software Engineering Solution Demonstration | 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 Workbench for Systems and Software Engineering which supports the collaboration, workflows, tasks, and management of the work products essential to systems and software engineering. The 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 |
| Agile Planning and Development with IBM Rational Team Concert Hands-on Workshop, Parts 1 and 2 | This workshop dives into the developer and project lead roles of the Rational collaborative lifecycle management solution powered by IBM Rational Jazz. It introduces the out-of-the-box support for scrum and agile development available from IBM Rational Team Concert. A hands-on component covers all the major benefits of IBM Rational Team Concert through a scrum/agile development scenario. These include planning and project/team management, project/customer collaboration, individual planning, collaborative software configuration management, continuous integration, metrics, dashboards, and transparency. The session outlines practical considerations when implementing scrum and agile development practices such as multi-level planning, factoring risk into projects, and managing scrum of scrums (multiple teams). Attendees receive a copy of the workshop materials so they can replicate it within their companies or share it with colleagues. | Half day | Presentation |
| Define and Manage Requirements with IBM Rational Requirements Composer - Parts 1 and 2 | This workshop dives into the analyst role of the IBM Rational collaborative lifecycle management (CLM) solution powered by IBM Rational Jazz. Understand how IBM Rational Requirements Composer extends the next iteration user stories with additional user interface sketches and storyboards, business process diagrams, use cases, vision documents, review and approval, commenting, and management for impact and coverage analysis. The workshop also examines the use of the user stories and additional details through the development lifecycle of an application. | Half day | Presentation |
| IBM Rational Solutions for SAP | SAP says "Our collaboration with IBM Rational brings together the best of our combined application lifecycle management market leadership and can help customers reduce costs, manage change, and improve quality across the enterprise applications lifecycle."
