Lesson 1: Create a provider project area

In this lesson, you create a project area that is based on the Formal Process Management process. You then make the project area process shareable so that other project areas can consume this project area process. A project area that shares its process is known as a provider project area.

Before you begin

Before you begin this lesson, you must be able to log on as a user who has JazzAdmins repository permissions and the IBM® Engineering Workflow Management Developer client access license.
