Requirement Management

Problem defined

Managing thousands of artifacts within the requirement phase alone in a project is not an easy task.

Solution

Automation have been provided by these popular software packs

  • Documenting Use Cases and documents: Microsoft Word already gives all we need.
  • Artifact Repository: Thousands of ways and tools satisfy this purpose. I’d suggest Microsoft SourceSafe and Microsoft SharePoint server.
  • Diagram authoring: Rational Rose and Microsoft Visio do better.
  • Version control: Many CVS tools are already out there.
  • Project Planning: Microsoft Project rocks! Agile’s Product Backlog is also a good tool.

Single Solution

Single solution that addresses most, if not all, issues - a professional Requirement Management Tool that enables the following factors

  • Traceability: The efforts spent in wiki(traceability) are greatly reduced. Hence, productivity and team moral are boost.
  • Consistency: In a team of nearly twenty people, it might come out that different artifacts owned by different authors vary slightly in styles, indents, numbering. A tool helps to reduce this factor.
  • Requirement linking: Reference to other documents, dependencies, extensions are handled in the form of URL links.
  • Use Case-to-diagram generation: Many tools allow users to create flow charts from Use Cases

TopTeam Analyst

I recommend this tool: TopTeam Analyst

TopTeam Analyst is wiki(RUP)-compliant

There are many more requirement management tools, but the reason I am attracted by TopTeam Analyst is that the product is compliant with standards from Rational Unified Process, which I’m am currently working with.
