In today's global economy, many companies are shifting their development strategy to one that is geographically distributed. With this shift, many companies have experienced a high degree of project development failure due to several challenges magnified by a distributed staff. This webcast is designed for Project Managers and Technical Leaders responsible for the success of distributed teams who want to identify the best way to leverage distributed software development capabilities while maintaining a unified team approach. The webcast examines the concepts, processes, and tools within the IBM Rational Software Development Platform solution, and focus on the replication and synchronization of artifacts across distributed development sites.
