Automated traceability from work item to build
Every change set is attached to a work item, and every build lists the work items it contains. Need the same fix in another release? Drag the change sets into your workspace.

Plan and code in one place · work items linked to requirements
Planning and code·, IBM ELM
Plans, work items, source control and builds in one tool, for agile, SAFe or hybrid teams.
IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM), formerly IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC), manages plans, work items, source code and builds in one tool. It is the link between the work that was required and the work that was delivered.
Teams plan sprints and programs in agile, SAFe or their own process. Work items, change sets and builds are linked automatically, so you know exactly what went into each build.
EWM is part of IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management. Work items link through OSLC to requirements in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next and tests in IBM Engineering Test Management.
Code can stay in Git: work items link to commits in GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, or teams use Jazz source control for everything.
Rational Team Concert servers upgrade in place, with their work items, plans and source control history.
Find the line closest to your team. Each one shows what changes with Workflow Management.
Capabilities
Every change set is attached to a work item, and every build lists the work items it contains. Need the same fix in another release? Drag the change sets into your workspace.
Sprint, release and program plans with Kanban and Quick Planner. Two predefined process templates support SAFe 6.0: Full and Essential. A program board and a ROAM board cover Program Increment planning and risks.
Defects, tasks and change requests with your own workflow and approvals. Role-based permissions, conditions and approval rules enforce your process.
Distributed version control, workspaces and parallel development. A lightweight extension brings Jazz source control to VS Code.
Build definitions linked to work items and change sets. A predefined build template connects Jenkins, with traceability back to code changes.
Hundreds of ready reports and dashboards anyone can build. Flow metric reports show distribution, velocity, time, load and efficiency.

Sprint, release and program plans with Kanban boards and Quick Planner. Process templates for agile and SAFe ship with the product.

Defects, tasks and change requests with your own workflow and approvals.

A short synopsis of long-running work items, and drafts of new ones.

Distributed version control, workspaces and parallel development. Every change set is attached to a work item, and interrupted work can be suspended and resumed.

Build definitions linked to work items and change sets, so every build lists the work it contains.

Ready reports and dashboards with live status that anyone can build.
What each standard asks for, and what Workflow Management gives you to show it.

Yes. Rational Team Concert was renamed IBM Engineering Workflow Management, so an RTC server upgrades in place, with its work items, plans and source control history.
IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) was IBM’s tool for plans, work items, source control and builds on the Jazz platform. It is the product now called IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM).
With version 7.0. As of version 7.0, IBM Rational Team Concert is called IBM Engineering Workflow Management; earlier releases, up to 6.0.6.1, carry the Rational Team Concert name.
An RTC server upgrades in place to EWM and keeps its work items, plans and source control history. We check process templates and extensions on a copy before the production upgrade.
Yes. Our Introduction to IBM Engineering Workflow Management course covers the work items, plans and source control that RTC users already know. See the course.
Yes. EWM links work items to commits in GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket, or you can use Jazz source control for everything. Supported servers are GitHub Enterprise, GitHub.com, GitLab and Gerrit. Work items link to commits through webhooks or hooks, and server hooks can govern the process, except on GitHub.com.
Yes. EWM ships process templates for agile and SAFe, with program and portfolio plans across teams.
Yes. Through an OSLC connector, Jira issues link to requirements and tests in IBM ELM, so teams can keep Jira where it fits. For a two-way sync of work items and Jira issues, we set up IBM Engineering Integration Hub.
Fine-grained access control for streams, components, directories or files. Audit reports with simple version IDs. Extensible metadata, for example an export classification on a component. Deletion of all occurrences of historical data after a data spill. Traceability at file level.
Workflow Management 7.2: edit custom attributes and make bulk updates directly in Quick Planner, separate audit logs for user access, improved rich text editing in work items, and support for the latest versions of Git, GitHub, GitLab and Jenkins.
Add them to the ELM Mini Dashboard and hand repetitive requirements work over to them. Each one previews its changes first.
