SLIM Plug-in to IBM Rational Tools Overview
QSM Provides an Integrated Solution for Software Project Estimation, Measurement, and Control Processes for Rational RUP. Listed below are the integrations between SLIM and IBM Rational Tools:
- SLIM-Control Integration to Rational Team Concert - Bringing together QSM's SLIM-Control analytical capabilities with the development and work product data contained in Rational Team Concert allows management to get a quantitative health status of their projects. QSM takes metrics from RTC and turns it into actionable information, critical to knowing where projects are in their development cycles and when they are likely to finish.
- SLIM-Estimate Integration to Rational Focal Point - SLIM-Estimate’s integration with IBM Rational Focal Point assesses the feasibility of implementing a user's business requirements within a desired schedule and cost. The focus of the integration is to identify high risk proposals before they get approved and find their way into the organization's project stream.
- QSM Measurement and Estimation Plug-in to Rational Method Composer (RMC) - QSM’s SLIM-Suite of tools for project planning, measurement, project estimating, and adaptive forecasting add value for Rational customers. These processes support industry best practice process maturity standards such as SEI’s CMMI and ISO 9000.
- SLIM-Estimate Plan Export to Rational Portfolio Manager (RPM) - Typically project managers do their estimating manually in tools like RPM. This involves many labor hours setting up schedule & effort values and dependencies for all elements of the WBS. QSM's SLIM-Estimate solution provides customizable SDLC estimating templates such as RUP that can be used along with a few inputs on project size and productivity to generate a project schedule and effort estimate at the WBS task level. This estimate can then be exported directly to RPM giving the project manager a detailed, defensible plan in much less time than doing it manually.
