The IBM Rational Product Tools have been around for many years now, but how they work together has always been the question. Now they have got it fixed where IBM have Project Management, Requirements, Software Design, Software Testing and Configuration and Control tools all in an integrated solution � where everything is floating in the Cloud, but is the Cloud the limit as not we have systems for systems!
This is good Lean Thinking where the Project Management components can be used by Lean Management Consultants with a touch of Lean Software ideas.
The 13th IBM Rational Software User Group (Innovate 2010 Rational Software Conference) in Orlando, is currently running with some forward thinking experts on the bench. This is good news for Software Development with a lot of innovation and creativity expected to come-out.
Rational has also introduced a credit token system where you buy tokens and only pay for what you use, this is very good where your overall cost should be reduced giving you funding for additional project investment.
The VP of Marketing for Rational Mr Scott Hebner said, "You can exchange tokens for the tools you need when you need them. There's no procurement process, which normally loses valuable time as you await fulfilment,".
