Change is inevitable

All Projects are subject to change… anticipating and managing change is a challenging task Increasing number of contributors & stakeholders

Agility needs proactivity

Usability is key

Change may impact the agreed baseline of Requirements Need a formal organization-tuned process,

Assess, decide, communicate

Change traceability Relate project Development activities to Requirements and Change Management

decisions

Establish a full audit trail

Need to record and manage change impacting all project artifacts

Requirement Driven Development - Synergy

Requirement Lifecycle Change Management

Requirements Adoption for collaborative, fast paced

projects

Measurement for Management Initiatives


Requirements Lifecycle Management Requirements Gathering:

Implements a highly accessible, consistent, repeatable process for preliminary requirement capture and analysis by all stakeholders

Ensure ideas, waiver, and any other driver is captured electronically

Requirements Change Management: Provides a flexible, consistent and repeatable process for managing changes of the

requirements baselined by the Program Change Control Board at all levels

Requirements Implementation: Enables control of the implementation of changes

Links each engineering task and impacted object to an original change order.

Reduces scope creep, streamlines development, and provides real-time visibility of the relationships between requirements and development activities.


Integrated lifecycle management – Be up and running in minimum time!

Integrated Requirements Gathering Process

DOORS - Change provides DOORS teams with a best-in-class Web interface for the capture and review process Requests captured through personalized Web forms

Review process identifies requirements

Requirements organized in DOORS and allocated to specific releases

Product Review Board Process

Customers Needs…

User Needs Reqts Document


Requirements Change Management

Deliver full requirements change control for DOORS users

Include all stakeholders in the decision process for requirements changes

Centrally manage approval authority and integrate Change Management

Track Requirements and Change metrics

Develop customizable Requirements Change Management workflows

Manage changes to requirements and assess their impact all the way to the end product

Automate the process of requirements workflow management

Manage changes to user requirements and meet compliance, governance and regulatory standards


DOORS - Change empowers your Requirements Change Request Process

Predefined, customizable Lifecycles, allowing assignment, multiple reviewers, electronic signatures Web-based submission, transitions, analysis history, reporting

Work on the Requirements is carried out inside DOORS

Changes are proposed against

requirements

Proposed Changes

are assessed and approved

Proposed Changes

are applied


Start in a familiar environment

Tracking Requirement Changes

The Requirements Engineer works inside DOORS

Selects an assigned Requirement Change Request (RCR)

Works against the RCR Identify the module/requirement to modify

Propose change(s)

Modify/remove already proposed change(s)

Delivers the work for review

The integration automatically relates the RCR to the Requirement Change Objects

Keeping the team informed

Users are kept informed of pending changes and their status

Decide what properties are important to you


Support for the Change Control Process

Designated reviewers can each indicate approval and feedback

DOORS automatically creates a change-focused view for easier review

Requirement Change Requests awaiting review are listed for the users


Conflict Avoidance and Resolution Automatic notification to

help users avoid conflicting changes

Easier, faster conflict resolution and requirement merging

Enables a faster, global team process while maintaining quality


Review Changes and Assess Impact All proposed data shown in one column for all selected Requirement Change Requests.

Easier conflict analysis


Requirements Implementation Process

Create implementation requests and engineering tasks directly from the requirements

Complete traceability from needs to code Impact analysis

Communication

Better project control Ensure you're doing the right thing

Real-time Reporting on progress, coverage

Building your knowledgebase


Implementation Requests

Complete roundtrip traceability:

Requirements to Change Requests down to development and back!

Objects under CM control


Status updates in DOORS view


Configuration/Change Management

With DOORS, Change and Synergy

Requirements link to Work Orders

Work orders link to Engineering Tasks

Requirements Driven Implementation

Roundtrip traceability and visibility


Eliminate risk associate with not knowing what made the final product

Automate round-trip traceability from the bottom-up

Increase quality of testing because requirements are known as partially included, fully included, or missing

Deliver proof of compliance to the requirement for every build candidate sent for QA approval

Automated Traceability – end to end visibility
