Overview of Engineering Insights

Edit online

IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Engineering Insights (ENI) is a collaborative, web-based application that helps engineering teams to manage products and systems.

ENI provides a portal that helps teams visualize, explore, and report on relationships across requirements, design, implementation, and test data from various engineering applications. Product managers and administrators can create views into the data to identify and analyze the impact of potential changes to artifacts.

ENI is part of IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management, and works with data from Engineering Requirements Management DOORS®, Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next, Engineering Rhapsody®, Engineering Workflow Management, and Engineering Test Management.

Views

ENI provides a portal into indexed data by using views to display the latest information and show relationships among artifacts. Views can be based on user role, product release, development process, or project. You can use views to go to specific engineering artifacts and open them in the application where they were created.

For more information, see Visualizing data across engineering disciplines.

To learn more, see the Creating traceability views video.

Impact analysis

You can use impact analysis diagrams to manage change in complex engineering environments. Visual representations of engineering artifacts and their relationships can help you determine how potential changes to an artifact might affect related artifacts.

For more information, see Analyzing the impact of change .

Reporting

You can open Report Builder from the Queries menu to search and create reports based on data across engineering disciplines, regardless of the source and location of the data. You can use the ready-to-use and ready-to-copy reports or create new reports to quickly generate and share information about your projects. You can export the reports or add them to dashboards.

For more information, see Authoring reports with Report Builder.

Part of the Jazz community

The ELM products are developed transparently on the open and extensible Jazz platform. On Jazz.net, you can download the products and their milestones, track development schedules, join discussion forums, open enhancement requests, and interact with the product developers. To learn more about the products, see the developer-written articles in the Jazz.net library or the topics about complex deployment scenarios on the Deployment wiki.
