The Automated Meter Reader (AMR) project: The AMR development team at JKE Meters uses IBM Rational tools to develop automated meter readers. The team has stakeholder and system requirements in a project in the Requirements Management (RM) application, test plans and test cases in a project in the Quality Management (QM) application, and source code in source control management (SCM) components in IBM Rational Team Concert™.

Important: The capabilities that are provided by the RM application are licensed as IBM® Rational® DOORS® Next Generation. The capabilities that are provided by the QM application are licensed as IBM® Rational® Quality Manager.

The team uses work items for planning and tracking. They are adopting new capabilities for multi-stream configuration management in the development of AMR products. These team members are involved in this scenario:
