Enables process awareness and guidance
 Team Advisor
• Rules can be run when delivering changes to enforce team or organizational
standards
• Helps ensure higher quality results through enforcement of agreed-upon
standards
Using “Rational Method Composer”
• Rules are configurable
or “Eclipse Process Framework”
• “Quick Fixes” can be specified to simplify corrective action
• Process rules can be defined, refined “on the fly”, enabling continual
improvements
• Out of the box including OpenUP, Scrum, The Eclipse Way, Agile (XP-like)
etc…
