Requirements and Reusability-Best Collaboration with ALM
Requirements Management can be the sole reason for the success or failure of your project in a distributed software and systems development space. An effective requirements management tool can actually save the life-line of a project. Were you aware that collaboration and reusability are 2 main elements of Requirements Management that can ably support a distributed project? An optimized collaborative Requirements Management that can provide a great deal of reusability can be of considerable importance since it can greatly decrease development time and risks.
The role of collaboration within requirements management is the foundation of the working together of the software to be able to share information and complete common tasks. Currently most software development practices know that “Collaboration” between different groups / roles working from separate geographic locations is a necessity. From all the different phases of software development lifecycle, the Requirement Management phase mostly requires collaboration since there are always instances of globally distributed stakeholders who need to be more involved in the creation, review and approval of all Requirements. It goes without saying then that enterprises would definitely achieve their targets in a better manner if they chose for a collaborative Knowledge Management Infrastructure for all their distributed teams. These ALM solutions and managed infrastructure would essentially be a single web-based application that can efficiently envelop all the features essential for all asynchronous collaboration.
Such an application lifecycle management solution needs to be a 100% web-based customizable solution that can effortlessly provide manifold avenues to work collaboratively and to ably manage all requirements for the enterprise. Such a solution will permit users to access the Requirement Management solution from any kind of remote locations and also ensure effective collaboration even across geographically distributed teams. Additionally with a much broader versioning of Requirements solution, enterprises can get much effective and broader spectrum for projects. It is noteworthy that within Requirement Management, enterprises can achieve different targets simply by creating Baselines at regular intervals which ensures the complete archival of all the history of Requirements so that easy referral and comparison is achievable even at a later date. This means that 6 months hence if the enterprise managers wants to view the contents of the set of Requirements as it was on the Project kick off date, they can quite easily refer to the baseline drawn on the kicked off date and get it without any hassle.
Enterprises can greatly benefit with a flexible baseline since reports can be effortlessly generated at any arbitrary point of time to see the actual status of an ongoing project. Furthermore such a solution also offers enterprises the much needed functionality to contrast two baselines drawn on two dissimilar dates to enable the management teams to get a detailed insight into all the changes that may have occurred in the Project between two dates.
