Some of CM-Consult product packages are now available with both perpetual and fixed-term licenses. CM-Consult company gathered feedback from its clients and concluded that it would be benefitial for them to have an opportunity to choose between perpetual and fixed-term licenses when purchasing CM-Consult products. One year fixed-term licenses offer several benefits. Fixed-term licenses: Provide a lower introduction cost than perpetual licenses and offer a lower-cost option for projects of a shorter duration. Include support and maintenance, so there is no additional maintenance cost. May be used to provide a better method to control and allocate cost to individual projects and may allow more flexibility in categories of procurement funds. text/html 2010-10-01T10:06:51+01:00 http://rational-tools.info http://rational-tools.info/corp-news/successful-completion-of-training-and-consulting-of-metran-company-employees-working-with-ibm-tools.html CM-Consult announces the successful completion of training and consulting of Metran Company (Emerson Process Management Group) employees working with IBM Rational tools.In August 2010, CM-Consult Company specialists were engaged in training and consulting of Metran Company employees on methodology and tools of configuration management process, i.e. IBM Rational Software ClearCase and ClearQuest.

When you have a large number of activities it is difficult to visually represent and estimate them using the grid view only. In such case, a chart is very useful. Another advantage is the possibility to modify dates of activities in graphic view (i.e. in a chart itself) that simplifies data updating in ClearQuest.

I will not tell you about the tool itself since there are special materials on this topic. I want only to point out that it controls all changes in a project, or rather all change requests (CR).In ClearQuest, change requests can be of the following types: * Enhancement request – New requirements from a client. * Defect – Documented defect. * Task – Planned task, task for defect correction or task for enhancement request implementation.See youtube video (media-youtube-video-and-presentations-/ganttchart-v-1.0-for-clearquest-video-with-audio.html) text/html 2009-10-09T12:42:12+01:00 http://rational-tools.info http://rational-tools.info/corp-news/new-version-of-uml2clearquest-uml2clearquest-3.0.html CM-Consult Ltd and the Rational-Tools.com project (UML2ClearQuest (our-solutions/uml2clearquest-module.html) is the specially designed solution that extends IBM Rational ClearQuest with the new capabilities.
