Team Development

• Rational Rose allows users to utilize a tailored version of the software that is suited to meet the specific needs of a workplace team, which means analysts, developers and support staff can use the system to meet their own preferences for a given project; meaning is built to support the team rather than the other way around. The software is also centralized, meaning all users can share and update information without the need for business travel to disparate locations.
  
  

Universal Language

• Rational Rose not only defines and initiates the requirements of specific users, but it also delivers that information in a universal language that can be learned and understood by different team members. Analysts may normally process and report on data in a specific electronics language whereas developers utilize another code altogether. Rational Rose dispenses with the need for multiple languages and can be initiated at any point in the development process. This consistency and comprehensiveness increases the likelihood of mistakes being uncovered and addressed.
  
  

Add-in Tools

• Any changes made to the Rational Rose program are instantly accessible to other users via a Configuration Management and Version Control (CMVC) feature, which permits users to make changes to the project software via Add-in Tools regardless of how developed the project is. Other software programs lack this function and require users to backtrack to weed out any errors and rebuild the program accordingly. These Add-in Tools can be activated and deactivated as required so that they don't interfere with any other stages of the development process.
  
  

Documentation

• Users of the Rational Rose system can take templates of the software for use in other computer design projects. Rather than building a new template for a larger project, the software can be accessorized and tweaked to fit the needs of a larger project, which can save both time and money on developing new project templates. Rational Rose has reusable components and adaptable templates to allow users to avoid unnecessary groundwork.
