This document discusses deployment options for IBM's Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) software on existing projects. It provides background on application lifecycle management (ALM) and defines CLM. CLM offers integrated requirements, quality, planning, and version control management to help meet ALM goals. For projects with existing tools, the document discusses challenges and recommends deployment options like importing data, bridging to existing tools, or synchronizing data between CLM and other tools.

- 38. • Importer • One-way data migration • Transfer management from current tool to CLM • Bridge • Provides link from CLM into current tool • Creates “loose coupling” – CLM UI navigation to invoke current tools • Simplest one to write if doesn’t already exist • Synchronizer (aka Connector) • Two-way synchronization of data between current tool and corresponding CLM data • Intended to support parallel efforts in both repositories Deployment – Connector Types
- 39. • Importer • Desire to move off of legacy tools • Preservation of historical versions not a high priority • Opportunity for process simplification/redesign • Bridge • High satisfaction with current tools/processes • Desire to preserve investment in current environment while adding RTC planning features • Easiest deployment path (no data to migrate or synchronize) • Synchronizer (aka Connector) • Supports trial projects without isolating trial users from rest of team • Allows work to be done in either repository and be visible in both • Optimizes setting up “agile islands” for small/medium teams whose work is destined for delivery to legacy tools Deployment – Connector Rationale

- 62. • How complex is the existing version control environment? • Number of servers • Number of supported users/clients • Are multiple development locations being supported and coordinated? • How customized is the development and delivery workflow? • Is the version control integrated with other legacy tools? • Is there a desire to work with RTC source control? • Will it be used in parallel with the existing version control tools/process? • How complex is the existing change management environment? • Are heavily customized change control workflows in use? • Has the legacy tool been extensively customized? • What disciplines’ change workflows are currently supported? • Will CLM be used to address business needs not yet being met? • Requirements Management • Test/Quality Management • Planning/scheduling • Reporting/dashboards Key Deployment Considerations
- 63. • Start small • Inter-operability support simplifies implementing in small pieces • Preserves investment in legacy tools while gaining new benefits • Make the process slightly simpler than it needs to be • Synchronizing data between legacy and new tools sounds appealing • But, it introduces an additional layer of environment complexity • Use pilot projects • Focus on early adopters • Apply lessons learned on pilots to later projects • Allocate dedicated resources to support deployment • Typical cause of failure • Human nature is to fall back to familiar process when things get busy • Publicize successes • Build a desire for projects to get to move to the new environment Deployment Best Practices
- 64. • CLM is both a concept and a solution • IBM Rational CLM provides a unique ALM solution • Preserves legacy tools while enabling Agile principles and processes • Supports 5 imperatives for successful ALM • Collaboration, planning, traceability, development intelligence, and continuous improvement • Integrates with industry-leading tools • Allows for incremental implementation • IBM Rational CLM is uniquely suited for use in existing development environments • Deployment best practices: • Start small • Keep process simple • Leverage successful pilots • Dedicate resources to roll-out • Publicize successes Summary
