Building ELO PUB Templates

Documentation can be burdensome, especially in highly-regulated industries with ever-increasing release schedule pressure. For organizations that utilize DOORS Classic, Rhapsody or the ELM suite offered by IBM, documentation automation is available. This can be achieved through the use of IBM Engineering Lifecycle Publisher (PUB). PUB uses templates to scrape information from the aforementioned tools and put them in highly customized document layouts that are ready to be delivered to internal or external customers.

321 Gang can create these templates and allow release documentation to be simplified to a single button click.
