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:
