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 |
| 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 |
| Tips, Tricks and Best Practices for Managing IBM WebSphere Environments with the IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere | The IBM Rational Automation Framework for WebSphere is an extremely powerful framework for managing IBM WebSphere family product installations, maintenance, configuration, and application deployments. With over 775 actions, this framework provides an incredibly broad set of functionality. This presentation demonstrates various ways to effectively leverage this framework to manage IBM WebSphere environments. The scenarios include monitoring environments for configuration drift, promoting configuration across the environments that make up the software lifecycle, application deployment management between development/operations, and migration of IBM WebSphere versions. | 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 |
| Unleash the Team! The new Vision for Analysis, Design and Development | Successfully delivering complex software and systems requires a united cross-discipline team to collaborate, automate, optimize, and ultimately deploy. Learn how the IBM Rational vision analysis, design, and development strategy can empower companies to collaboratively plan, deliver, govern, and manage systems and software that contribute to the vitality of the enterprise. | 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. | 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 |
| Model Driven Development for Mobile Applications | With embedded product designs becoming more complex and product lifecycles shrinking, development efficiencies are essential. The emergence of model-driven development (MDD) has provided the opportunity to accelerate the development process. With MDD, software engineers can more clearly understand and analyze requirements, define design specifications, test systems concepts using simulation, and automatically generate code for direct deployment on the target hardware. This session presents several aspects where using MDD can help developers quicken the delivery of Android-based devices and applications. | 90 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 which of the reporting options is best for single- or cross-tool report generation. The session covers the benefits and drawbacks to tool-based reporting, and the Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT) versus IBM Rational Reporting Engine. Presenters offer suggestions on which tool to use for different types of reports. | 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 |
