Process Analyzer
Automatically Analyze and Document IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) Processes
Process Analyzer is a utility, developed by Joe Meagher, Inc., that generates a statemodel of the business processes used in your implementation of IBM® Rational Team Concert™ workflows.
Process Analyzer integrates rapidly and fluidly with Rational Team Concert, and allows you to automatically document and communicate your processes with minimal human intervention.
Today, RTC Administrators and Process Authors spend days, and sometimes, weeks documenting their processes. When the processes change, and they do, the current documentation is immediately out of sync with the process.
The use of Process Analyzer increases the productivity and improves the accuracy and availability of the documentation of the RTC workflow processes.
