Explore the selection of help topics, tours, tutorials, samples, videos, and articles to learn more about the features that are described in each module.
[CLM scenario] in bold italic text indicates an optional scenario that you can use to learn more. While this self-paced training focuses on design management, the CLM scenario covers other aspects of collaborative lifecycle management (CLM), such as requirements management, quality management, or change and configuration management.
This introductory self-paced training is for architects, designers, and lead developers interested in collaborative design management with Rational Software Architect.
You should understand the basic concepts involved in IT architecture and design.
You need approximately 10 hours to read the training material and complete the lab exercises.
This self-paced training provides an introduction to design management. It explains how to integrate design into the overall application and systems engineering lifecycles. You learn how teams can collaborate on designs across organizational boundaries to more efficiently manage a collaborative development lifecycle.
Read the resources that are available to help you understand the Design Management capabilities.
[CLM scenario] The Money that Matters scenario captures the workflow across a set of capabilities or products to solve a complex customer problem. The scenario uses a fictitious banking company called JKE and a realistic software development project whose goal is to implement user stories during a single development sprint. The scenario demonstrates collaborative lifecycle management by integrating requirements management, change management, design management, and quality management.
You can use the sample project to quickly create a project and import the Rational Software Architect sample model onto the Design Management Server. The model that you import is the JKE Banking model from the Money that Matters scenario. The self-paced training uses the JKE Banking model for all the examples throughout the different learning modules.
In addition to the lecture material listed below, the self-paced training contains lab exercises.
