Agile ALM Workshop
Why an Agile ALM solution?
 The IBM® Rational Solution for Agile Application Lifecycle Management (Agile ALM) provides an
integrated set of capabilities to support agile delivery needs
 The solution is targeted at customers struggling to adopt agile in an enterprise context (need to scale)
Enterprise challenge Benefit provided by this solution
Lack of core agile skills; difficulty determining
where to start, how to perform daily work,
how to scale
Out-of-the-box best practices and supporting
templates get you up and running quickly and support
day-to-day usage
Poor collaboration and lack of transparency
with customers and between teams
In-context collaboration, real-time planning and
customizable dashboards keep everyone
communicating and on the same page
Heterogeneous environments, both process
and tooling
Jazz-based platform supports integrations with IBM ,
3rd party and open source tools.
RTC supports a variety of development lifecycles
Balancing agility with governance Governance “baked into” tools with process
enactment support and in-context guidance
