Application Workload Modeler
Features and Benefits
Deliver the right information at the right time
As economic climates continue to change, organizations must find ways to keep their competitive advantage and to meet the needs of their customers with fewer resources and more budget constraints.
To achieve this, managers must make the right decisions at the right time. However, most struggle with information quality, quantity, and integrity, causing a lack of visibility into their projects and processes and impacting their ability to make effective business decisions.
IBM® Rational® Insight®, a performance measurement solution, provides organizations with the tools to keep their project and process investments in concert with their strategic objectives, providing transparency and control into risks, status, and trends.
Rational Insight ensures that you can measure, monitor, and analyze performance correctly and take corrective actions when necessary. It delivers measurement best practices that help you reduce time to market, improve solution quality, and take greater control of software and systems development and delivery.
Make informed decisions based on actual data
Good management starts with accurate and objective information. Lack of timely and relevant information about the progress and status of projects drives under performance and leads to failure to achieve business goals.
Under tight deadlines and budgets, stakeholders and delivery teams require immediate answers to critical questions, such as "Which trends are occurring that could impact cost and schedule?” and “What is the arrival rate of new defects?" Without visibility into the development lifecycle, it is difficult, if not impossible, to answer these questions accurately.
With Rational Insight, teams access a single Web-based view to accurate real-time project and process performance information, including baselines, averages, and goals, so all team members know how they are doing at all times.
Data quality and timeliness is managed by automating the collection, measurement, and analysis of real-time data across disparate repositories, including IBM Rational ClearQuest®, IBM Rational ClearCase®, IBM Rational Quality Manager as well as third-party tools, such as Microsoft® Project and XML data sources. This helps minimize the impact of manual errors and incomplete information on decisions.
Rational Insight provides flexible dashboards that help synthesize information into graphical elements that make it easy to see status and to spot issues that can then be drilled into and root cause discovered.
By having this vital information at your fingertips, you can take prompt corrective action, assess the cause for late deliverables, set realistic project expectations, and make better informed decisions.
Optimized information by roles
With Rational Insight, time is no longer wasted waiting for status reports, asking multiple people for updates, basing your work on outdated information, or digging through different databases and documents. Rational Insight provides you with a single interface personalized to display the information most relevant to your needs.
Whether you are an executive, a project manager, or a process lead, built-in measures and metrics tailored to your specific needs help you assess the status of your projects by analyzing summary views with drill-through capability for more detail.
You can evaluate actual results against business or project goals and receive email alerts. You can configure Rational Insight to deliver information directly to most mobile devices, so information can find you around the world, when and where you need it.
Cross project, product, and geographical boundaries
Product delivery is critical to the success of any business. It determines a company’s financial performance and signifies confidence in the future.
However, without the full visibility into progress, processes, and risks, poor decisions can occur due to blind spots. This is especially common across projects, products, and geographical boundaries.
Organizations need to measure and analyze actual progress against targeted goals, to assess historical information to learn from failures, and to monitor the progress of their projects to help make the right decisions faster.
With Rational Insight, you get visibility into your data to monitor status and answer questions related to key aspects of your activities, such as requirements volatility, stability, and defect density.
You can monitor status using actual real-time data from across all your projects in a single view, create dashboards in several formats from across disparate repositories, tailor dashboards to fit your needs, manage resources to increase your team’s productivity, and successfully predict your project’s outcome.
Continually improve your process
Streamlining and maturing the capabilities of business processes around software and systems delivery is a priority. There is more pressure to increase speed to market and do more with less.
You cannot improve what you do not measure. IBM Rational Insight helps to ensure that your project is on course to succeed by leveraging a library of best practices and management techniques with ready to use dashboards and metrics.
You can evaluate historical data for lessons learned and take advantage of quality and performance metrics tailored to your needs.
With the tight coupling of Rational's Measured Capability Improvement Framework (MCIF) for best practice measurement guidance and Rational Insight, you can ensure that you are capturing the right information to measure for improvements.
MCIF can help you adopt an incremental measured approach to transforming your business for process improvement; focus on the core practices that matter most to your business; accelerate adoption through ready-to-use assets; and articulate capability improvements in terms of business value.
MCIF and Rational Insight help you measure, manage, and incrementally improve your software and systems delivery.
