The "IBM Rational Software Innovation Forum" Preacher Advocates Innovation
Perspective: Innovation is the theme of the 2010 IBM Rational Software Innovation Forum. How to innovate, through the role of a preacher, allows the industry to further review the theme of this year's conference, "innovation." The annual IBM Rational Software Innovation Forum is about to be held again. On the basis of successfully hosting ten sessions, this year's conference has more highlights. With Innovate (innovation) as the theme of this forum, it is a trendsetter in enterprise management software and development concepts. Numerous speeches by senior IT technology masters give the industry more expectations. From the 2008 launch of Rational Team Concert advocating the power of collaboration to the proposal of the "software economics" theory in 2009, and then to this year's "innovation," an important point of innovation is the combination of industry preaching. The combination of industry application software use and innovation is a very important issue for this forum. This forum will cover six aspects of issues, including: process, portfolio, product and project management, and enterprise architecture management; change and release management; integrated requirements management; design and construction; software quality management; system development. Although no clear industry-specific actions are proposed among these, if management software is disconnected from the industry, any of the above points would be empty talk. In fact, the forum has divided its content into more detailed categories, covering more levels, from enterprise management to project development, providing listeners with a brand new experience.
Among this year's speakers, there is a lean elder whose title in IBM is also very special - Chief Evangelist ("Chief Preacher"). Such a position is not common in enterprises, the most famous one being Vinton Cerf, the father of the Internet, who was hired by Google to hold this position. So, what exactly will this mysterious Chief Evangelist preach in IBM? This is Bruce Douglass. Through his introduction, it is not difficult to understand. Bruce is an IT industry expert and also a scientist in the field of neurology. He has over 30 years of experience in real-time and system integration. By combining his professional knowledge in neurology with computer science, Bruce has become a practitioner and leader in the informatization implementation and software integration development of many medical-related industries. Among the numerous speakers, many have such experiences. Through a team of experts related to various industries, IBM has its own unique insights during the development of enterprise management software and software development platforms. After three years of accumulation, Rational Team Concert, one of the highlights of this year, will definitely attract the favor of more industry-related enterprises. The speeches delivered based on their combined industry experience will surely be excellent and insightful. The various reports launched based on each细分ated issue will also have their own highlights, very worthy for CIOs and relevant personnel to share.
Although the speeches by the guests will be very exciting, the main character of this forum is not any guest but Jazz, which can integrate the above six themes theoretically. It is IBM Rational's next-generation collaboration platform for software delivery technology. The Jazz platform is specifically designed for globalized and cross-regional team development, changing the way people collaborate in building software - improving the cooperation, efficiency, and transparency of software delivery. Theories presented in speeches may sound beautiful at times, but momentary excitement cannot replace enterprise management activities. Truly taking root in applications, transforming theories into practices, and creating real wealth for enterprises belongs to Rational Team Concert. As a collaborative software delivery environment, it can not only help project teams simplify, automate, and supervise the software delivery process but also automate data collection and reporting capabilities, reducing excessive management problems in traditional software delivery management, while providing real-time monitoring capabilities making software project supervision more effective. Through it, project control is improved. Dynamic project configuration (Dynamic project provisioning) enhances the team's control capability in the early stages of project initiation. Additionally, for later stages, real-time collaboration functions can significantly reduce resource waste and rework. In terms of enhancing team capabilities, it is targeted and can provide integrated work projects, version building, and software configuration management (SCM) to achieve this goal, enhancing the above functions through the Jazz Team Server. It is precisely this mutual promotion between theory and practice that makes the industry blogosphere propose that Jazz resembles the Tai Chi way in software development theory. Because besides the balance theory of mutual generation and mutual restriction, three years ago, Rational Team Concert based on Jazz has been continuously upgraded and innovated, increasing the balance and coordination between theory and practice. Through more industry experts' deep cultivation, the entry point of the chief preacher's preaching is right here. It is believed that this year's Rational Software Innovation Forum will bring more innovation and surprises to the industry.
According to my investigation, CIOs or information directors have shown extremely high enthusiasm for participating in this forum. After all, such high-standard technical conferences are rare. Through case studies provided, it offers models for various manufacturers to improve their internal management and increase informatization levels in the next step. Apart from IBM's seven related solutions such as enterprise architecture management (Enterprise Architecture Management) and quality management (Quality Management), numerous partner cases will broaden the horizons of CIOs and increase their experience, which is beneficial for subsequent practice and enterprise management activities. These cases also provide a rare learning opportunity for front-line developers. After all, most developers' perspectives are limited to their own group or individual projects, unable to jump to the entire industry perspective. In terms of dependence on development tools, through relevant examples demonstrations, it will give developers more comparisons. When communicating with related project collaborators and senior enterprise managers, there will be more reference materials. Not only for front-line developers, but also for project managers, this is significant because they are the true organizers and managers of projects. Besides, this forum provides the best case studies in terms of management concepts, practical tools, and actual cases for these grassroots managers. Enterprise management activities and informatization do not necessarily have to feel their way across the river. There are many highly referential and comparable examples. In terms of development tools, it is not necessary to rely solely on .NET. In terms of comprehensive performance and support, it is not inferior to other tools, especially in collaborative development efficiency and coordination. Many development tools and theories are worth trying out.
Of course, more importantly, this forum will have meaning and far-reaching impact on the IT industry. The preaching of the chief preacher integrates industry characteristics with computer technology, which is just one aspect. A higher level is the positive significance of this attempt in solving the software crisis. Software development is closely related to enterprise activities. How to solve the software crisis, how to coordinate internal activities and external exchanges within software enterprises, and how to improve the enthusiasm of a large number of developers have seen many theories in recent years. However, regarding truly solving the efficiency of software development and the software crisis, there has not been substantial breakthroughs. This conference allows developers to see that after three years of effort, Jazz and Rational Team Concert under this theory have achieved better and better results. This gives professionals hope on the road to challenging the software crisis.
