2 Overview IBM Rational Method Composer is a flexible process management solution that includes both a powerful process authoring tool and an extensive library of process and best practice assets. IBM Rational Method Composer tooling provides capabilities to author, tailor, manage, and publish processes descriptions. The process and practice libraries included with IBM Rational Method Composer provide proven, best-practice content that can be re-used to compose the appropriate process that meets the specific needs of your systems and software delivery teams. IBM Rational Method Composer's enhanced tool capabilities let you quickly compose the right process by listing the appropriate practices, metrics, and tools to meet your specific objectives. By removing previous constraints on the re-use of capability patterns, you can automatically keep the process in synch when changes are made to method elements. The new IBM Rational Team Concert work item template export capability, and the ability to capture work product states for task input and output work products are the first steps towards executable process specifications. With these enhanced tool capabilities, new and updated practices are available and include: Adoption through execution Asset-based development Asset-based governance Software capability program management and method development Data design Deployment management Developing user support and training Project process tailoring Reviews and risk management Staged integration Service-oriented modeling and architecture practices User-story-driven development Ability to determine application modernization strategy Ability to set up a performance measurement system Ability to manage performance through measurements Product portfolio management Systems engineering practices These practices are documented guidance for solving common business, management, or technical problems. They can be incrementally adopted to meet your business objectives. New and updated tool mentors provide contextualized tool guidance for practitioners using IBM Rational tools in support of Collaborative Lifecycle Management. Additional guidance on performance measurement, in the form of two new performance measurement practices as well as recommended metrics for each individual practice, supports measured improvement. You can assess your the anticipated results against your process improvement efforts.

3 Key prerequisites For details, refer to the Hardware requirements and Software requirements sections. Planned availability date November 30, 2010: Electronic availability December 7, 2010: Media availability Description New practices Practice Name Adoption through execution Asset-based development/asset-based governance Software capability program management and method development Data design Deployment management Developing user support and training Project Process Tailoring Reviews Risk management Staged Integration Systems engineering practices ( Build and validate use cases; detailed use case requirements analysis; elaborate draft system requirements; architectural analysis -operation-based; architectural analysis - key system functions; trade studies; architectural design-operation based; architectural design - use-casebased; and joint realization) Description This practice helps an organization develop and manage a mentoring program in order to drive successful, lasting adoption of capability improvement. This practice describes a process for identifying resusable assets, producing reusable assets, and applying reusable assets. Asset-based development speeds development, and reduces costs and risk by reusing assets and artifacts to solve recurring problems. This practice provides a standard approach for managing software capability improvement that is aligned with the organization's strategic goals. This practice provides for the logical and physical design of the required databases to support the application. This practice covers basic tasks for planning and deploying a solution. This practice supports the development of the training and support materials needed to support the successful deployment of a solution. This practice describes how to select tools and an appropriate process and perform the typical tailoring required for use on a specific project. This practice explains how to prepare for and conduct a review, as well as follow up on action items that are outcome of a review. This practice describes how a team can continuously identify risks, propose strategies to address risks, and monitor the events that might trigger the risk to be realized. This practice describes how to apply staged integration to cope with complexity, identify problems early, and reduce risk. Nine systems engineering practices that cover the systems development lifecycle from Requirements Development through Architectural Design including trade studies. The use of model-based engineering for early model validation and verification is a key element of these practices that reduces risk early in the project.

4 Practice Name Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) practices (use-case driven business modeling; service identification; service realization; and service specification) User-story driven development Determine application modernization strategy Setting up a performance measurement systems Managing performance through measurements Product portfolio management New RUP configuration New disciplined agile delivery configuration Description The IBM Rational Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) 2.9 practices define a SoaML-based, modeldriven approach for developing serviceoriented architectures and systems. This collection of four practices is an update to RUP SOMA 2.4. SOMA 2.9 includes additional contributions from the IBM Redbook Building SOA Solutions Using the IBM Rational SDP and the OMG SoaML specification, as well as support for the new RSA V7.5.4 SOA modeling features. This practice describes how to capture requirements as user stories, which are then used to guide planning, development, and testing. This practice uses deep code analysis to develop strategy road maps in line with organization goals for a given application. This practice provides guidance for establishing a Performance Measurement System to support timely, informed decisions. This practice leverages the use and analysis of data from the Performance Measurement System to better support key business decisions. This practice presents a standardized product portfolio management framework that provides the foundation for selecting, balancing, authorizing, monitoring, and controlling the work that aligns with the organization's strategic goals. A new RUP process configuration based on practices is provided. This configuration includes a complete RUP delivery process that captures the essentials of RUP in a form that is easier to navigate, understand and tailor. A new Disciplined Agile Delivery Configuration is included that supports the IBM Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management solution. The configuration is based on 10 practices, consisting 4 core Agile practices and six scaling practices. A complete IBM Rational Team Concert process template and IBM Rational Team Concert tool guidance is included to support enactment of the process using IBM Rational Team Concert and a rich set of recommended metrics are described to assess project status and process adoption. This represents an excellent starting point for teams looking to adopt disciplined agile delivery practices and measured improvement.

5 New tool features and enhancements included Updated platform support that provides interoperability with other IBM Rational Tools IBM Rational Method Composer has been updated to support Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit version operating in 32-bit mode), Internet Explorer 8, and Red Hat Linux 5 Update 4. In addition, a number of other updates have been made to support interoperability with Jazz Foundation and IBM Rational Team Concert including: Upgrade to Eclipse Upgrade from BIRT Upgrade to IBM Java TM 6 Upgrade to IBM Installation Manager Updated integrations that support new versions of products Updates to the following integrations have been made to support the latest versions of products. These updates include: CCRC 7.1.2, CC SCM 7.5.0, IBM Rational Asset Manager Eclipse Client V New integrations that expand the ecosystem IBM Rational Method Composer V7.5.1 now supports the Eclipse-Synergy 4.2 integration. This integration delivers support for task-based configuration and change management and collaborative development of process assets using IBM Rational Synergy V7.1 and IBM Rational Change V5.2 (optional) with IBM Rational Method Composer V New capabilities that provide IBM Rational Team Concert and Jazz Foundation interoperability for process enactment Several new capabilities are added to IBM Rational Method Composer V7.5.1 to support interoperability and process enactment with IBM Rational Team Concert V3.0 and Jazz Foundation 3.0 Eclipse shell sharing With the availability or IBM Rational Method Composer V7.5.1, it is now possible to shell share IBM Rational Method Composer with IBM Rational Team Concert V3.0. Ability to create IBM Rational Team Concert work item templates for process enactment A new capability is added to IBM Rational Method Composer to export IBM Rational Team Concert/Jazz work item templates based on a work breakdown structure, or portion of a work breakdown structure in IBM Rational Method Composer. Finegrained control of which work breakdown structure elements (Phases, iterations, activities, and tasks) are exported is provided via the "Planned Flag" for each work breakdown structure element. The exported work item templates can be instantiated in IBM Rational Team Concert V3.0 to create a structured project plan, iteration plan or ad-hoc set of tasks and activities that include links to the detailed process guidance from IBM Rational Method Composer. Ability to export IBM Rational Method Composer practices to Jazz Foundation It is now possible to export one or more practices to Jazz Foundation. The resulting file can then be imported to Jazz Foundation so that the content can be viewed in Jazz-based tools such as IBM Rational Team Concert V3.0 and IBM Rational Quality Manager V3.0 and/or edited using a simple web-based editor, Jazz Process Authoring that is included in Jazz Foundation. The Jazz Process Authoring Application will be available as a tech preview with Jazz Foundation 3.0. IBM United States Software Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 5

6 Harvest practice updates from Jazz Foundation It is now possible to import one or more practices from Jazz Foundation 3.0 to IBM Rational Method Composer to support harvesting of practice updates made by the team enacting the process. Specify required work product states It is now possible to specify the permitted states for each work product directly in the work product editor in IBM Rational Method Composer. Specific states can then be selected and assigned to each input and output work product on the task descriptor (a task descriptor is an instance of a task used within the context of a process or process pattern/capability pattern.) editor providing a more complete specification for process enactment. Configuration free processes Previously, a capability pattern had to be associated with a default configuration. Subsequently, capability patterns could only be used in the default configuration or a superset of the default configuration. IBM Rational Method Composer V7.5.1 removes this constraint by providing the option to select None, as the default configuration. These so called "Configuration free processes" may be used in any configuration. Realization rules are applied at publishing time (or during browsing) to ensure that the realized capability pattern is consistent with the selected configuration (suppressing tasks/activities that are not in the configuration and resolving variability according to the elements that are in the selected configuration). This greatly simplifies the re-use of capability patterns by eliminating the need to create "dummy configurations" for use as the default configuration for capability patterns and the associated constraints on re-use. Auto-synchronized descriptors Previously if a method element was updated one had to manually synchronize capability patterns or activities that directly referenced the subject element. This was a tedious task that required one to determine which capability patterns or activities were affected by the change and to manually edit each of these items. A new library preference is provided to select auto-synchronization. When selected, the library will be updated to replace all copies of method elements within containing capability patterns with a reference to the base element. These so called "autosynchronized descriptors" are always in synch with the base elements by virtue of this reference vs. copy implementation. It is still possible to tailor the referencing copies (for example, the element descriptors), for example to suppress an input on a task descriptor, and these modifications vs. the base element will be retained and highlighted in the process editor property page for the descriptor so you can always tell if, and how a descriptor has been modified with respect to the base method element. This enhancement greatly simplifies method authoring and maintenance. Note: If a library is converted to the auto-synchronization format it cannot be converted back to the old style of library. Flexible licensing options Previously, there was only one license, a perpetual Authorized User license, that applied to both the use IBM Rational Method Composer Tool and the use of the published commercial content. This created a situation where clients were forced to purchase the tool for all team members even if they only had a few process authors and wanted to have the entitlement to use the published content for the majority of their users. With IBM Rational Method Composer V7.5.1 more flexible licensing options are available. First, a new licensing option is available for users that only want to purchase the right to use the published commercial content. This license is available IBM United States Software Announcement IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 6

7 as a perpetual, authorized user license as part of a new offering in the IBM Rational Method Composer family called the "IBM Rational Method Composer Content Reader". Second, the following new licensing options are provided for the IBM Rational Method Composer tool: Authorized User Single Instance Perpetual Authorized User Single Instance Term-based Floating License Perpetual Floating license Term-based Token licensing All license terms have been aligned with the IBM standard license policies implemented recently to simplify the number of license terms across the IBM Rational portfolio.
