What can you do with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management?
Manage complexity
Maintain transparency and traceability across the entire development team to effectively manage changes, ensure the product meets all requirements and is fully tested.
Strengthen decision-making
Make better decisions by using model-based systems engineering to develop a deeper understanding of the impact of design changes across systems and throughout the product lifecycle.
Accelerate delivery
Adopt agile methods while integrating architecture and design modeling, simulation, and test and quality management. Reuse components to improve the efficiency of product line engineering.
Improve quality
Get integrated testing and lifecycle traceability that provide visibility across artifacts for a complete view of development, to ensure the product meets all requirements and is fully tested.
Foster continuous collaboration
Deliver configurable process automation across teams, roles and disciplines with agile and collaboration tools that support the specific needs of your distributed team.
