You can export a project and its related business needs
from IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ to
the Change and Configuration Management application of Rational solution for
Collaborative Lifecycle Management for
project execution. The export creates a project area and work items
for each business need. A link to the new project is created and displayed
in Rational Focal Point.
