Workflow Management QuickStart

Installation, configuration, training and mentoring for your first IBM Engineering Workflow Management team, in five days.

Overview

Your first team in Workflow Management, in five days

A pre-defined service for the rapid adoption of IBM Engineering Workflow Management (formerly Rational Team Concert) by an initial team of up to 10 users, based on one of the out-of-the-box configurations.

Workflow Management is a platform for in-context team collaboration, real-time project status and automation. Its out-of-the-box process configurations let you see the benefits within weeks.

It is often best to start with an initial team on a real project. You see the benefits at low risk and build the foundation for more teams later.

Our part

We plan the installation with you, install and configure Workflow Management, document the result, train your first team and stay with them for a day of mentoring on real work.

Your starting point

Where does your team plan its work today?

Most teams call us at one of these points. Each one ends with Workflow Management in daily use.
