Requirements management and the enterprise
Today all enterprises realize that in a distributed software and systems development project, Requirements Management plays a crucial role in eventual success of any project. Therefore it goes without saying that an efficient and optimal management of Requirements can be possible only with a functional Requirements Management tool. But generally what transpires is that the same practice ends up being quite a headache if the tool doesn’t come equipped with two most important aspects namely-collaboration and reusability. To ensure a greater and enhanced application lifecycle management, enterprises should ensure that their requirements management tool can offer collaborative Requirements Management with high degree of reusability which can considerably lessen the development time and risks.
Collaboration is the foundation of how things can for work together, allocate information and complete common tasks. Typically modern software development means that “Collaboration” among different groups / roles working from various geographic locations is a need rather than a simple requirement. The requirements management phase requires enhanced collaboration owing to the fact that various globally dispersed stakeholders are required to be engaged not just in the creation, but also in the review and approval of requirements.
Enterprises therefore require a solo web-based application that can amply cover all the features necessary for all asynchronous collaboration. They should opt for such a solution that is completely customizable and can easily offer diverse ways to work collaboratively and manage different requirements. Also enterprises require this solution to be one that offers and guarantees anytime and anywhere access. This means that any user with identity authentication can access this application over the Internet from any geographical location.
Enterprises can greatly benefit with such a 100% browser based system that can offer easy access from remote locations and also ensure total collaboration across geographically distributed teams. Also enterprises would do well to ensure that such an optimized solution can offer them ways to ensure putting in place personal preference setting to own time zone and date time format to enable all database date/ time to be translated to the correct date/ time and format. Additionally such a solution should ensure that the access can be extended to all software development artifacts including requirements, designs, test cases, defects and tasks originating from diverse application lifecycle management tools without leaving their preferred Visual Studio Integration IDE.
