Rational Method Composer is a flexible process management platform with tooling and the richest process library to help companies implement effective processes for successful software and IT projects.
No two software development projects are alike. Each project has very different priorities, requirements, and technologies. Yet, on every project, you want to minimize risk, ensure predictable results, and deliver high-quality software on time. IBM Rational Method Composer is a flexible software development process platform that will help you deliver customized yet consistent process guidance to your project team.
Rational Method Composer includes a customizable process library and tooling to help you manage, author, configure, and deploy effective processes tailored to your project needs. The process library offers the industry's most robust collection of best practices guidance for software and systems development, management, and governance with more than 100 selectable and customizable process best practices that can be applied to a variety of processes and domains. It includes the IBM Rational Unified Process process framework. With best practices adopted in thousands of projects worldwide and taught as part of the curricula in hundreds of universities, the RUP methodology has guided some 500,000 developers around the world in a broad range of software and systems delivery and implementation and effective project management development projects. The RUP process framework includes expanded process content (via plug-ins) in areas or solutions such as service-oriented architecture, packaged administration (commercial off-the-shelf), portfolio management, program management, systems engineering, and many others.
Unlike other commercial methodologies, the Rational Method Composer platform makes process practical with knowledge assets and guidance to help you jump-start project planning, get team members up to speed and working consistently, and put your customized process into action.
The Rational Method Composer platform provides a configurable process framework that enables you to select and deploy the specific process components you need to provide a consistent, yet customized process for each team and project.
