This course provides an introduction to Rational Publishing Engine. It teaches participants how to generate documents that pull information from various sources, and how to design document templates to support the publishing needs in their company.

This introductory course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM). The ETM application assists in creating scripts for manual testing. The course helps you to understand and use test artifacts in ETM.

We tout the business results of applying SAFe and learn the principles from great sources like Don Reinertsen’s book, The Principles of Product Development Flow. But how can we connect the dots from the economics to the practices we want to apply and the decisions we need to make? In this workshop we use scenarios, in story problem format, and apply real numbers to demonstrate the value of the principles in action.

While the roots of Agile Development and the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) are in software development, the principles of Lean and Agile are generally applicable for Hardware/Product Development as well as Embedded Software. This ‘trifecta’ of software, embedded code and hardware constitutes the majority of today’s most complex systems… but hardware teams are often uncertain how to best apply their craft as part of an agile team.

This workshop teaches future workshop coaches and participants how to incrementally build system specifications that define system context, behavioral response to stimulus, structural design and interfaces. And it teaches the mechanics of running a workshop through a lengthy simulation and how to perform workshops as part of the regular agile development flow.

This introductory course is designed to familiarize testing professionals with the basics of IBM Rational Quality Manager V6.0. The Rational Quality Manager application assists in creating scripts for manual testing.
