Rational Team Concert
Rational Team Concert has a simple set of defined roles to enable key solutions for your organization. With Rational Team Concert you simply acquire licenses to support the roles and solutions that you are interested in. This provides you with an unprecedented level of flexibility and cost efficiency to choose and use only what you are interested in to support your needs. Rational Team Concert allows you to implement individual components of RTC now and others later simply through licensing - and without your typical deployment and integration headaches and risks.
Rational Team Concert also makes it easy to complement your existing tools. For example, you may choose to implement Collaborative Change Management and/or Agile & Traditional Planning integrated to your existing ClearCase, Synergy, Subversion or Git implementation.
The Jazz platform on which Rational Team Concert is based, protects your investment and simplifies your environment increasing the value you are able to achieve in software and systems delivery. With the common Jazz technology and platform used by Rational products you can easily expand to support the specific needs of other roles such as quality professionals and business analysts while ensuring a highly collaborative and conducive software and systems delivery solution for your organization.

Feature | Description | Benefit | |||
Collaboration & Integration Platform | The Jazz Team Server provides a common collaboration platform that supports your organization’s best practices - be it agile or traditional - and aligns your project teams, their internal organization and the artifacts they are working on. The Jazz Team Server provides a process configuration, guidance, and enforcement framework that bring together your entire software delivery environment with a high degree of flexibility and control. It integrates with a variety of open-source and commercial products. A wide range of server platforms are supported as well including Windows, Linux, AIX, IBM i on Power, and z/OS on System z, and with rich client support for Eclipse, Visual Studio, ISPF, Mac and popular web browsers. | Improves the productivity of teams and quality of the work they produce, and greatly simplifies access to team-related information. Support for any process and any platform, significantly reduces the total cost of ownership and administration. | |||
Collaboration Tool integrations | Rational Team Concert has built-in integrations with collaboration tools such as IBM Sametime instant messaging and IBM Connections social software. The IBM Sametime integration provides team awareness, drag and drop of artifacts, the ability to capture a chat session into a work item discussion and Sametime support for searching for artifacts by name directly from the IM chat window. The IBM Connections integration provides direct access to your enterprise social network including blogs, wikis, communities, activities, profiles and more, from the Rational Team Concert Web UI. Other collaboration tool integrations include Google Talk and Skype. | Collaboration tools help breakdown the silos between teams and organizational boundaries, connecting development projects with communities and making projects more easily accessible to business stakeholders. | |||
Transparency with Multi-level Dashboards and Reports | Team Reports and web dashboards help everyone track the health of their projects at all levels of granularity. Dashboards provide an at-a-glance real-time view of charts, work item queries, event feeds, reports, and other items that are critical to understanding your software and systems projects. Reports provide both real-time views and historical trends of builds, streams, work items, and other artifacts across the lifecycle including integrated products. | Helps everyone easily monitor, scorecard, and collaborate on projects and address problems and bottlenecks before they endanger the project. | |||
Work Items | Work Items are the fundamental mechanism to automate, coordinate, and track change across your projects aligned to your team's process. In addition, work items are the hub for traceability and transparency between many artifacts (e.g. builds, work items, and change sets), as well as providing support for integration with other products. Work item customization can be used to support new and existing change processes in order to support the development process that your organization and project follows. | Improves productivity of a wide range of stakeholders and improves process integrity with automated traceability across a broad range of development tasks. | |||
Planning: Agile, Formal, Hybrid | Planning provides a solution to assist with the planning and execution of development projects and supports agile, formal or a hybrid of these two methods - in real-time. Multi-level planning is supported to create and manage plans that organize and coordinate project and product release plans, team plans, and individual plans in multiple views and paradigms. Plans are accessible to everyone on the team, and change dynamically over time to reflect the team's current position and direction. | Easily allows teams to adopt good development practices. | |||
Continuous Integration - Builds | The RTC build solution provides a platform for implementing continuous integration on a schedule/rhythm or on demand. Builds can be conducted and coordinated at multiple levels, for an individual, team, and product/project. Builds are highly integrated and traced to work items and SCM with rich build health reports/results with traceability throughout the system for response and resolution against build results. | Improves quality and predictability of development iterations | |||
Advanced Source Control | RTC Source Control provides a modern stream based software configuration management solution using change sets. Its focus is on supporting geographically distributed teams and has strong support for parallel development, component based development, and agile practices. It's built from the ground up with advanced features to support collaborative development, lifecycle integration, traceability, and control. | Improves productivity of developers and quality of their work with in context collaboration and seamless integrations with other development processes | |||
Distributed SCM | A new innovative solution for sharing, comparing, and managing the flow of changes between developers, teams, and projects across different repositories. Distributed SCM provides organizations with flexibility while governing source control across distributed locations. | Improves collaboration with other lines of business, and even outside suppliers, who need to share component code changes across repositories | |||
Advanced capabilities for Power and System Z | Provides advanced building with dependency management, build impact analysis, promotion support for z/OS and IBM i, deployment support for z/OS, IBM i, Unix and Linux and advanced context aware search. Learn more. | Supports teams performing COBOL, PL/1, RPG, System z, Power Systems and cross-platform development |
