IBM Rational Team Concert ™ is a team collaboration tool that is built on a scalable, extensible platform. Rational Team Concert uses the Change and Configuration Management (CCM) application to provide features that integrate development project tasks including iteration planning, process definition, change management, defect tracking, source control, build automation, and reporting.

Rational Team Concert integrates work item tracking, source control management, continuous builds, iteration planning, and a highly configurable process support to adapt to the way you want to work, enabling developers, architects, project managers, and project owners to work together effectively.

Rational Team Concert provides a single, integrated environment for several aspects of the software development process, including agile planning, process definition, source control, defect tracking, build management, and reporting. Users can use the software to track and manage the relationships between artifacts, promote best practices for development, and gather project information.

In the product, users create work items to track tasks, such as enhancements, defects, or plan items. Among many other things, users can include these work items in plans for specific milestones and can link work items to source code. When a user creates or changes a work item, all members in the associated team are notified. Users can share team information in the product by tracking team activity, posting detailed information, or configuring which information is visible.
