BIRT ReportingCross-discipline reporting across Rational repositories
Bill Nelson

What is BIRT?
> Business Intelligence and Report Tools Project
> Open source initiative as part of the Eclipse Foundation
> Initially focused on embedded reporting for Java Developers
> Similar to “Crystal Reports” but free
> Rational integrating into their products (v7.1)
> Next generation reporting technology
> Eclipse-based Report Designer> Web-centric design metaphor> Open Source with rapid adoption> Standards based & highly
extensible> Open XML design format> Build community and ecosystem
Project Goals
3
What problem are we trying to solve?> Abstract “tool” information to a level to be digested
by management/executives
> Required reporting across different tools (e.g. ReqPro, ClearQuest, Test Manager) and repositories
> Required easy accessibility (e.g. web) that was on-demand
> Required “customization” to fit language of BCBSMN
> Hope is that it will result in better adoption of tools
4
Why do we use BIRT?> Needed a way to report across Rational repositories and make easily
accessible and relevant to management/executives> Open source (free) and deployment to WebSphere (Web application)> Rational is replacing Crystal Reports with BIRT in ClearQuest v7.1> Powerful and relatively simple

How will we measure success?
> Project measurement processes do not allow for a detailed measurement plan
> Case studies powered by “educated” estimates of key project personnel
