Scale to work with not only large teams but teams that cross
organizational, cultural, geographical and even language
barriers.
Manage the big data associated with big development
projects by providing the information management to handle
the volume of data associated with designs, and traceability
to ensure dependencies between development artifacts are
captured.
Include automation and reporting to ensure that timely
and accurate information reaches stakeholders.
Manage the complexity of product families, not just
individual products. This means support for product portfolio
managementto prioritize the right products and variants
to meet both business and technical needs, and automation
support for product line engineeringto ensure that variant
configuration data is managed throughout the software
development lifecycle.
Minimize risk with continuous, incremental delivery of
software and with early discovery of defects. It should also
enable iterative dynamic planning to accommodate changing
requirements and priorities.
Integrate the different activities of the development lifecycle
to allow efficient processes and workflows and error-free data
flow through the lifecycle. Such integration should enable
traceability and impact analysis of changes.
Respond to the needs of relevant stakeholders including
customers, users, business and technical stakeholders to ensure
that changing needs can be accommodated throughout the
development lifecycle.
Enable compliance with required standards without adversely
affecting responsiveness of the development process by
incorporating compliance needs into process support and
automating the capture and reporting of compliance evidence.

Summary
As software becomes an increasingly critical driver for innovation
in smarter products, you need new approaches to support and
manage its effective delivery. It requires flexible, scalable processes that minimize risk, improve responsiveness to changing
requirements and ensure compliance with required standards.
IBM understands the issues smarter product developers face
today and offers tools, best practices and industry expertise
help you improve your development processes to create more
innovative products while managing risk.
