IBM Jazz helps universities prepare future software leaders for globalization.
One of the many IT challenges facing business leaders is the imminent retirement of the Baby Boomer generation. Another is preparing the next generation of software developers for the increasing complexity of the AD process due to globalization. IBM is tackling this problem by awarding research grants to universities to help students embrace programming and software development as a team rather than solitary activity. This team approach uses Jazz, an IBM Rational project to a build scalable, extensible team collaboration platform for integrating work across the phases of the development lifecycle. Whether you are in a university, small and medium business setting or corporate environment, IBM has Rational training to meet your needs.

IBM Redbooks - a great cookbook for building Rational skills
IBM Redbooks are like cookbooks for IT professionals. They offer a soup to nuts guide on selecting, installing and supporting specific IBM products. Just like great recipes can result when master chefs collaborate and experiment, IBM Redbooks are a team effort. IBM developers and select customers work together during an intensive multi-week Residency Program where they analyze the product, install it, duplicate typical implementation scenarios and document their experiences. The result of this demanding process is an IBM Redbook. The text includes product positioning, installation and implementation experiences, typical solution scenarios, step-by-step "how-to" guidelines and, frequently, sample code. The IBM International Technical Support Organization (ITSO) produces Redbooks on many software products including Rational, application development, Information Management, Lotus, Tivoli, WebSphere and many more.

Model service-oriented architecture with Rational Software Architect: Part 4 – Use Case models
This tutorial series introduces the concepts and tools involved with modeling service-oriented architecture (SOA) using IBM Rational Software Architect. This fourth tutorial covers the use case model. It continues using the online DVD rental case study introduced in the previous three parts, and you will use Rational Software Architect to produce a use case model based on that case study.
Role of Integrated Requirements Management in Software Delivery
As organizations integrate software into every aspect of business, they are constantly pressured to deliver faster, better, and cheaper results. Unfortunately, a “dis-integrated” software delivery approach reduces returns while increasing costs. This IBM Rational White Paper shows how Integrated Requirements Management aligns organizations around maximizing value and keeping pace with change.
