Strategic Drivers: Software Change Management
Maximizing software development team results by delivering a heterogeneous, open, and enterprise scalable software team
platform that has the lowest cost of ownership

Enhance enterprise capabilities, performance, and scalability of lifecycle change management
Facilitate distributed teams and remote workers with improved WAN access
Simplify administration and deployment to reduce cost of ownership
Provide an open solution built on industry standards
IBM Software Group | Rational software
The Challenges SCM Solutions Address1. Managing Change to Software Artifacts
Developing, managing, and integrating thousands of changes to hundreds of thousands of software files to deliver a single consistent software application.
2. Integrating Lifecycle Activities
Managing the team’s work assignments and priorities to account for changing requirements, defects, enhancement requests, and test cases to maximize delivered features and maintain software quality.
3. Managing Software Teams and Metrics
Managing software projects and project portfolios to objectively determine current status and return on investment results. Removing barriers in team communication around project goals and project processes and procedures.
4. Build Management and Deployment Automation
Reducing application downtime and business interruption due to build and deployment errors in the “lifecycle gap” between engineering and operations.

Architectural Drivers
GOAL:
Enterprise Class Team Infrastructure with Lowest Total Cost of Ownership
Scalable from small teams to large multi-national distributed teams It means…a tools complexity, administration, deployment, and performance are
appropriate to the team size and application size
Easy to install, configure, learn, and use
Support for Open Standards
SWG Componentization and Reuse
