Collaborative software development using IBM Rational Team Concert

In this paper I am describing a tool supporting the collaborative development of software, called IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC). I analyzed and described the Jazz platform on which it is based and described its role in the Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). I paid special attention to the support of agile methodologies in software development, which the tool helps to execute and adapt to specific needs. For a better understanding of the capabilities of RTC I envisioned a sample project. In it I implemented the planning part of the development lifecycle. I defined the project's requirements and split the work in several iterations. Based on that I have shown the capabilities of the tool. My goal was to get acquainted with RTC, mainly from a methodological standpoint. I focused primarily on Scrum and how it is supported in the tool, on how the tool is used when executing a Scrum project and on the benefits for the development team, while using both RTC and Scrum
