Jazz Administration perspective
Jazz is IBM Rational's new technology platform for collaborative software delivery. Uniquely attuned to global and distributed teams, the Jazz platform is designed to transform how people work together to build software-making software delivery more collaborative, productive, and transparent. You can think of Jazz technology as an extensible framework that dynamically integrates and synchronizes people that have a role to play in the successful delivery of software-not just software professionals, processes, and assets associated with software development projects.
Jazz is a technology platform, not a product. IBM's Product offerings that are built on the Jazz platform to leverage a rich set of capabilities for team-based software development and delivery is The Rational Team Concert.
The important views of this perspective are as follows:
| Team Organization view-Manages Connections to project areas and create new ones, and helps you organize larger team members with multiple development lines and subteams.
|
|
| Process Templates view-Manages your process templates. There are several predefined processes to choose from: Agile, Eclipse Way, Scrum, OpenUp, and Simple. But you can also define your own processes or modify an existing one.
|
|
| Team Artifacts view-Manages your connections to a repository and a project area. When you are connected to a project area you can access its artifacts. The artifacts are grouped into different nodes.
|
|
| Team Advisor view-Opens when you execute an operation that violates a process configuration. This view tells you what went wrong and often provides a quick fix for the problem.
|
|
| ClearCase Synchronized Streams view-Creates, manages, and monitors ClearCase Synchronization streams and also lets the user switch between different team areas.
|
|
| Work Items view-Shows you the work items returned from a work item query.
|
More details about using this perspective are given in Chapter | 9, Rational Team Concert.
