Rocket.Build

The project registration uses Jira Service Desk.

Create a Project submission, filling all the field, and you will receive an email confirmation. After the registration period ends, all project submissions will be assessed (only to avoid duplicates, etc.) and cloned into Project issues in the Rocket.Build jira project (RB).

This ticket then serves as your anchor for ideas, attachments, comments, and communication. You can still change team members after submission within your ticket.

If you have any questions, or are not a Rocket employee, contact [email protected] and we will help you register.

The volunteer registration uses Jira Service Desk.

Choose a Volunteer submission, filling all the fields, and you will receive an email confirmation. The Rocket.Build team will contact volunteers and connect you to teams in need of support.

If you have any questions, or are not a Rocket Employee, contact [email protected] and we will help you register.

Each team can have up to four members. Please note: Participants can only join one team.

Teams will have five minutes to present to regional judges during the June virtual event. Finalists from the community Rocket.Build will then present to the Rocket Executive Leadership Team in November, who will select the winners of Rocket.Build 2025.

Rocket.Build welcomes all ideas that serve the themes of Rocket.Build. If you have a great idea which you want to mature, that's enough! Find some teammates and let’s go! Or sign up as a volunteer and we’ll help you find a team!

June 3–4 will be mainly virtual unless a community wants to organize a local in person Rocket.Build event. It’s up to the community if they choose to provide food, etc. Nov 5–7 will be fully catered.

Please select the answer that relates to the team project leader.

This is not the intention of the Rocket.Build. We encourage teams to ideate beyond the roadmap. Dream big and think outside the box! Feel free to reach out to the Rocket.Build team for assistance if needed.

The themes are merely directional and with some creativity, surely there is a connection to be made. 

Rocket.Build is open to Rocket customers, partners, contractors, and interns /students in the community, as long as they are part of a team led by a Rocket employee who can access necessary secured platforms and documents.

Community Connector Leaders will designate local judges for each community, assisted by the Rocket.Build team. Please reach out to the Rocket.Build team if you need help arranging for judges.

No. To ensure fairness, teams are asked to only work on the projects during allotted event time.

The first part of the event will take place within two days: Day 1 (June 3) will be a full day of coding, and Day 2 (June 4) will feature virtual presentations to the community. Winning teams that move on to the next phase of the event will have two more full days to code in November.

No, only the designated project leader submits the project idea and lists the other team members. NOTE: if a person who is not a current employee of Rocket Software wants to register a project or volunteer, they must contact the Rocket.Build team at [email protected].

We ask individuals to only pick one team to work with during Rocket.Build 2025.

Rocket.Build is a special event because Rocket Software is setting aside this time and space for creativity and innovation. All participants are encouraged to plan, clear their calendar, and put their “Out of Office” notification on so they can fully concentrate during the event: June 3–4. (For Rocket Software employees, be sure your immediate supervisor is aware of your participation ahead of time.)
