Configuring and using Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations

Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations provide a common approach to artifact linking, dashboards, security, and user interface frameworks. Cross-product links support traceability, web-like navigation, commenting, and status tracking across project repositories.

You can configure and use Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations with products based on Jazz™ technology, including IBM® Rational Team Concert™, IBM Rational® Quality Manager, and IBM Rational DOORS® Next Generation, to connect the work of all team members. Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations with Rational ClearQuest® Web are also referred to as the Rational ClearQuest Bridge.

Collaborative Lifecycle Management integrations provide the following capabilities:
  • Link to existing artifacts across repositories in integrated products; for example, Rational ClearQuest records are linked to work items, test cases, and requirements.
  • Hover over links to quickly check that status of associated work; for example testers can monitor the status of a defect that they reported to the development team.
  • Add a widget to a dashboard to report query results from associated projects; for example, you can display requirements that have not been assigned test plans.
  • Add comments to any artifact in an integrated repository.
