Design Management components

Design Management supports a collaborative approach to software and systems architecture and design. To integrate design in to your specific lifecycle and environment, you can use the approach that best fits your needs.
Several components are available to enable the design management capability and support different usage scenarios:

Rational Software Architect and Rational Rhapsody each use separate, specialized versions of the Design Management import engine and client extension components.

As the following diagram illustrates, the component-based architecture provides a flexible installation strategy. The supported deployment strategies range from evaluation (where all the components are installed on a single workstation) to a fully distributed deployment.
