Product overview

Features of IBM Engineering Workflow Management

Automated traceability and reuse

Built-in work item and change-set traceability reduces the complexity of identifying precisely what went into a build. Need to reuse work? Simply drag the change sets associated with that work item into your workspace

Advanced configuration management

The software provides advanced software version control, workspace management, distributed source control and parallel development support to individuals and teams. It improves productivity by automatically tracking changes to artifacts. RTC enables a virtually unlimited suspend-and-resume feature to handle work interruptions.

Real-time collaboration

Using customizable portal views, you can access information about multiple projects such as news and events, current build status, work in progress and changes that were requested. You can see what other teammates are working on, and view their online status and availability.

Automate team project status

Keep your teams on target with report automation, analytics and dashboards for predictable outcomes. Any user can build custom reports or use one of hundreds of available preconfigured reports.

Track and plan work with ease

Rational Team Concert software automatically creates and tracks the progress of individual work items according to the team’s agile, SAFe or custom process. Efficiently plan sprints across teams and programs.

IBM renamed the IBM RTC - Rational Team Concert

IBM is renaming IBM Continuous Engineering to IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management and renaming the family of products in this portfolio. IBM recognizes that product development is getting more complex with shrinking product lifecycles, more technical savvy and demanding customers, and growing compliance and regulatory requirements; and IBM wants to make sure our product naming does not compound this complexity. IBM wants customers to be able to easily identify a products’ function by its name.

IBM wants to ensure that our existing customers recognize our focus/investment, and that the marketplace in general and new customers in particular can easily identify which of our products cover major development disciplines – requirements, test, etc
