Parallel Development Using Projects

The features in this section apply to projects. Streams do not contain parallel versions of the same items in the repository, and conflicts are resolved in the work area. For details, see Working with Streams.

In a project of any size, different people may need to work on the same items for different purposes. Dimensions CM provides features that allow developers to work on the same items without conflict, and to resolve and consolidate changes.

The Dimensions CM work model for parallel development uses projects and version branches to separate concurrent activities on the same items.
