Design Management with RSA 8.5: Effective Collaboration for Better Design
Agenda
 Introduction – Good Design is Good Business
– Design makes your Software Better!
• Cheaper to use an eraser on the drawing board than a sledgehammer at the construction site.
• If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
• Good Design leads to Faster, Better, Cheaper Business results
– Faster Design Reviews - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reKelRG6dJw&
– Design Analytics - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NovQGpa2H6E&

Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product
direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment, promise,

Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks
in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will
experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the
amount of multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage
configuration, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an
individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.



Design Management

Design Management is an ALM discipline that
integrates software and systems design into the
lifecycle

Just like requirements management, change &
configuration management, and quality
management

Rational Software Architect and Rational
Rhapsody are IBM Rational’s industry leading
software and systems design solutions

Design Management capabilities have been
added to Rational’s Rhapsody and RSA
product families to enhance their design
capabilities with new team collaboration and
lifecycle capabilities

Agenda

 Introduction






Beta

What Does “Shared Administration” Really Mean?

 Sharing a Jazz Team Server
– Less server infrastructure to manage

 Common user Administration
– Only one place to define and
administer users

 Lifecycle Projects
– Easily create and manage your
“projects” that use requirements,
design, change management, and
quality management


Beta

Design and Lifecycle Projects
 Creating project areas within a lifecycle project
– The Lifecycle Project Administration application uses the notion of a lifecycle project to manage your
project areas.
– A lifecycle project groups multiple project areas that collaborate with each other. Rather than managing
each project area separately, you can manage all of the project areas from this central lifecycle project.
– After associations are established between project areas, you can link their artifacts to establish
traceability across the requirements, design, development, and testing phases of the application
development lifecycle.



Agenda

 Introduction







Shared Designs and Comments
 Engage team members in the design process with Web client access to designs
 Improve quality with in-context design collaboration through commenting and visual markup
 Comments can be posted and accessed from Web client and RSA desktop client


Beta

New “Documentation System” Domain

Sketching

Rich Text Design
Documents


Automate Design Reviews
 Automate manual and time consuming design reviews
 Users notified via email of the review and access their reviews from the dashboard
 Design Manager tracks progress of design review
 Link review to Team Concert work items for more formalized approvals



Dashboards
 Dashboards
provide a quick
way to stay on
top of project
activity
 DM dashboard
viewlets for
collaboration
(recent links,
comments, most
active, design
reviews)
 Create mashup
dashboards with
viewlets from
CLM & DM
applications


Beta

Configuration Management for Designs

 Serial and parallel configuration
management for designs
 Change history, compare and merge
 Design reviews on private changes prior
to sharing

Changeset
Base Workspace B.1
Changeset B.2

Private Workspace P Changeset P.1


Reporting and Document Generation

 Document generation with RRDG (Rational Reporting for
Document Generation)
 Report templates based on RPE (Rational Publishing Engine)


Beta

Other Design Collaboration Capabilities
Extension
 Add custom domains via Domain Toolkit

Improved Search
 Keyword search and queries

Transformation
 Client side transformation on server repository
resources

Impact Analysis
 Graphical impact analysis diagram (Design
centric)



Agenda

 Introduction







Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)
Working to standardize the way software lifecycle tools share data

Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration
Lifecycle integration inspired by the web

 Community Driven @ open-services.net
 400+ registered community members
 Workgroup members from 34+ organizations
Automation

 Wide range of interests, expertise, & participation
 Open specifications for numerous disciplines
 Defined by scenarios – solution oriented
 Implementations from IBM, BPs, and Others Monitoring

 Based on Linked Data

Inspired by the web Free to use and share Changing the industry


Beta

Lifecycle Traceability
Integrating Software Designs with the Application Lifecycle

Designs linked to the Designs linked
requirements they model to related test artifacts
OSLC OSLC
Rational Designs linked to implementation Rational
Requirements Quality

 How can I leverage my designs in iteration planning?
 How can stakeholders gain a comprehensive view of the system across
requirements and designs?
Architect,  How can developers find designs related to their implementations?
Developer,
Engineer  How can I reduce risk and improve my agility in making changes?
 How can I ensure traceability across the lifecycle


Beta

Impact Analysis – Design Centric View

 Design Management 4.0 Beta includes a
new graphical impact analysis diagram
– Includes both design and OSLC linked
artifacts

 An Analysis Configuration defines the
parameters for the analysis
– Upstream level, downstream level,
which links types to include
– Can be used be shared by multiple
analysis

 An Analysis applies the configuration to
a selected element to perform the impact
analysis
– Add and remove elements from impact
analysis diagram
– Save and re-run at a later time


Agenda

 Introduction







Money That Matters (MtM) 2012
The MtM sample application
 Sample application shipped with CLM and RSA
DM Beta (Lifecycle project)
 Makes it easy to try out CLM
 Contains RM, CCM, QM, and DM artifacts
– (Users and roles, artifacts, dashboards, links….)

The MtM scenario
 Full life cycle scenario for a medium to large
geographically distributed team
- Hybrid approach that includes the Disciplined Agile
Delivery process framework
 Based on the MtM sample application
 Available at http://bit.ly/MTM_Lifecycle_Welcome

The (free) self-paced training
 Free training assets shipped with RSA DM help
- Lecture material + hands-on exercises
 Scenario-driven training (based on MtM 2012)


Summary
 Design Management is an ALM discipline that
IBM Rational solution
integrates software and systems design into
for Collaborative Lifecycle Management
the lifecycle
 Rational’s Solution for Collaborative Lifecycle
Design
Management can now be extended with (Beta)
Design Management (beta) for broader
collaboration and traceability across the Requirements Quality
lifecycle
 The 5 ALM imperatives strengthen the value of
Software Change
software and systems design… and Configuration

 … and software and systems design Architect Engineer Analyst DeveloperQuality Professional Deployment Engineer

strengthens the 5 ALM imperatives! Open Lifecycle Integration Platform
 The Design Management capabilities have
been added to the Rational Rhapsody and
Rational Software Architect product families to
enhance their existing design capabilities with
team collaboration and lifecycle integrations
