The IBM Rational Solution for CLM combines elements and terminology of different methodologies, including disciplined agile delivery practices and Scrum. In addition, it addresses scaling factors inherent to an enterprise environment, including: upfront requirements management and release planning; multiple feature teams running iterations at the same time; an independent test team, with a stabilization period at the end of each iteration and before transitioning the project outcome into production; and a project leadership team overseeing the work and setting direction for the sub teams.

A graphical representation of the project lifecycle supported by this hybrid approach is showed on Figure 1:
