UCM or Unified Change Management is a layer built on top of Rational ClearCase to provide several features to this Configuration Management System for software development. These changes include integration with ClearQuest to enforce defect and change tracking with code development through the use of activities. This is part of the Rational Unified Process which describes the lifecycle of change management for Rational/IBM's software development process. It also gives integrators ownership of projects and streams, to allow policy management and feature management from a higher level than developers. UCM removes the ability/requirement that users manage a configuration specification for a view. Most configuration and usage of UCM can be done through a command line or graphical user interface.
