Unified Change Management (UCM) is a structured development process that is based on Rational ClearCase tools. When using UCM, developers participate in a structured workflow using high-level operations that eliminate the need to deal directly with individual branches and versions of files and directories. Before developers can start using UCM, a project manager must define one or more UCM projects. The project manager creates the project as an object in a project VOB. This object contains only the metadata (for example, components, activities, policies) needed to manage and track the work on a product. It does not contain any project resources (source code, documentation, and so on).
