IBM ways of how to increase process flexibility

How to increase process flexibility and responsiveness to constantly changing projects. Proven, flexible process guidance helps you work more efficiently toward project goals. The IBM Rational Method Composer (RMC) represents a major evolution of IBM’s process solutions, which includes and extends the IBM Rational Unified Process®, or RUP. Rational Method Composer adds new best practices to RUP that leverage IBM’s expertise in portfolio management, collaborative distributed development, and service oriented architecture; enabling teams across an organisation to collaborate more effectively, reduce software project failures and save time and money.

Built on Eclipse, it offers you the benefits of an open source ecosystem. The Rational Method Composer includes an open, Eclipse-based platform that delivers RUP and aspects of SUMMIT Ascendant’s vast library of best practices for building higher quality software and systems. The open process platform can help you capture, share and reuse software best practices that solve a range of complex development challenges.
