Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager
Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager is a product lifecycle management application created by the Rational Software brand of IBM.
During product development, teams use Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager to query, visualize, and analyze engineering data across multiple project tools, such as Rational DOORS, Rational DOORS Next Generation, Rational Rhapsody, Rational Rhapsody Design Manager, Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager. Data created and managed in other tools can be indexed, and by using connectors it can be shown in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager.
With Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager you build views and impact analysis diagrams that show your engineering artifacts and the relationships among them. Project teams use this product to make engineering decisions, and to ensure or demonstrate compliance with industry standards. Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager can be used for tasks like:
- Change impact analysis: What work must we do for this change request?
- Situational awareness: Where are we as we converge towards a milestone?
- Validity checking: Is our engineering information complete and related correctly?
Rational Engineering Lifecycle manager is part of two IBM solutions: Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management [1] and Internet of Things (IoT) Continuous Engineering.[2]
