Project and portfolio managers need to prioritize investments across projects and to accurately scope, estimate, schedule and manage resources. IBM delivers comprehensive process and portfolio management capabilities with tools to manage the IT project portfolio lifecycle, reusable processes with the templates and guidance you need to manage project work, application lifecycle management solutions to bridge development and operations, and the proven expertise in facilitating the organizational transformation that is essential to aligning IT with business objectives.
In project-driven organizations, senior IT leaders and project managers must drive consistent, predictable, business-driven performance. The challenge is to gain visibility across project portfolios to make better decisions, faster. IBM Rational Portfolio Manager, the newest member of the IBM Rational family, marries top-down portfolio analyses with bottom-up process-driven project management. And when used with application lifecycle management solutions, such as IBM Rational Team Unifying Platform and Rational Suite, you can get a 360-degree view of your IT projects, enabling decisions to be made based on accurate, objective data.
Project failures can often be traced to a lack of a shared understanding of terminology, processes, and goals. Working with a consistent process provides that common vocabulary and clear definitions of responsibilities. IBM Rational Unified Process®, included in IBM Rational Method Composer, is a software development process platform based on proven best practices that are configurable to your projects' needs. The comprehensive IT methods and planning and estimation tools of IBM® Rational SUMMIT® Ascendant® complement the proven RUP guidance for developing quality software.
To implement consistent process, IBM Rational Team Unifying Platform™ provides your development teams with the integrated tools they need to work together more effectively. IBM Rational Suite is a comprehensive solution that includes the Team Unifying Platform capabilities, plus visual modeling, code-generation, and runtime analysis capabilities.
Complementing the architecture management tools is Rational RequisitePro®, a powerful, easy-to-use, and integrated product for requirements and use case management that promotes better communication, enhances teamwork, and reduces project risk.
No matter what your project type, these solutions can help you to more effectively plan, manage, and measure IT and development projects across the enterprise.
