Abstract

Learn about the Jazz Project and Rational Team Concert, the first product built 
on the Jazz platform. Jazz uses Eclipse technology on both the client and the 
server, and Team Concert provides agile teams with a highly integrated tool set 
including source control, work item tracking and build management. Team Concert 
builds on top of the Jazz technology platform, which provides integration 
middleware for collaborative, extensible Application Lifecycle Management tools. 
This talk starts with an introduction to the architecture and extensibility of 
the Jazz platform and discusses how Java EE, relational databases, OSGi and 
Eclipse technologies are used to implement the platform capabilities. Next the 
focus is on how Team Concert leverages the Jazz platform to address common pain 
points of software development. The talk concludes with a brief what is 
new&noteworthy on the Jazz project and a live demo of Rational Team Concert.
