In today’s ‘new normal’, organizations are being forced to innovate their engineering processes — how they operate and deliver. Organizations understand that this transformation requires a truly agile enterprise that efficiently and effectively adopts Agile@Scale. By now most organizations that have tried to scale agile across the enterprise know that having agile development teams or […]

In this post, I will use the new names of IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) 7.0, previously known as the IBM Continuous Engineering solution. You can read more about the renaming activity in the blog post: Renaming the IBM Continuous Engineering Portfolio. In the details below, you will see the new names along with old […]

We’ve made a lot of progress on some key themes such as usability, enterprise agile, and support for complex regulated development at scale in the v7.0 EWM release.  I’ll cover some of the high level enhancements related to those themes. UX Modernization in EWM UX modernization is all about user experience redesign and usability improvements. […]

If you’ve been following our progress on the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management v7.0 release here on jazz.net you can see that we are in the final stages of our release candidate milestones. Release candidates are functionally complete, meaning all the features targeted for v7.0 have been delivered to the release and we have entered the […]

We have been working hard on improving IBM Engineering Workflow Management (also known as IBM Rational Team Concert) in the latest v6.0.6.1 release. The new name “Engineering Workflow Management” reflects the fact that EWM orchestrates everything involved in complex software development including the structure of team membership, release cadence, team process, tasks, defects, plans, code, […]

The benefits of “lean” are taking shape. More organizations than ever before have shifted from simply pursuing an interest to actually doing something about it. And in this world of growing systems and software complexity, the need to effectively and efficiently coordinate the delivery of value across distributed teams is no longer a choice… it’s […]

Reporting is critical in helping organizations lead lean enterprise transformations, and we’re listening and responding… In the latest drop of the Enterprise Scaled Agile reports for your IBM Continuous Engineering (CE) and IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) environments, we’ve included some of the most important industry-standard reports — like Cumulative Flow, Burn-Up and Burn-Down […]

In my job, I spend a lot of time thinking about very complex things. Like the definition of IoT. Or the challenges of connected product engineering. Or how industries are becoming increasingly regulated.  Because in my IoT world, “continuous engineering” means working with increasingly connected things in very complex systems, and developing the software that […]

Organizations across all industries are under great pressure to quickly adapt to new market conditions. They need to transform their approach to systems engineering and software development to deliver new features and offerings faster and respond to feedback — continuously. Most of them have been experimenting with lean and agile principles to reach that goal. […]

Are you interested in taking advantage of the IBM Jazz Reporting Service (JRS) reports delivered to support enterprise scaled agile environments but aren’t sure how to get started? Maybe you’ve tried to import them but haven’t been successful? Or maybe you aren’t using the Scaled Agile Framework ® (SAFe®) specifically, but still want some of […]
