- Rational's Unified Change Management (UCM) is a key component of the Rational Unified Process®, a comprehensive framework for delivering best software practices. Both Rational Suite® and IBM® Rational® ClearCase® SUPPORT Unified Change Management. The foundation or enabling-technology of UCM is Rational ClearCase and Rational ClearQuest, Rational's integrated change management solution. The Rational UCM solution delivers an unprecedented level of change automation across the entire development lifecycle that strengthens team collaborative efforts.
- UCM unifies cross-functional teams through an easy-to-adopt out-of-the-box process that is optimized for team acceptance across all roles. Working with ClearCase and ClearQuest, UCM automatically sets-up each INDIVIDUAL's personal workspace with a personalized to-do-list. So, regardless of whether you're an analyst, tester, developer or release engineer, you will have a clear understanding of any project's SCOPE, priorities and all of the activities associated with any project.
- UCM automatically keeps all team members informed of true project status and workload. Every team member is on the same page at all times. Project managers can organize project status, ASSESS workload and estimate completion dates.
- With UCM, integrators and release engineers can assure project quality. Systems can be BUILT consistently through software-reuse and build management. Build-related challenges are greatly minimized through the use of ClearCase UCM components and baselines.
