Rational Requirements Composer helps teams of all sizes and complexity to better capture, define, analyze, report, and manage requirements, and communicate effectively across the project lifecycle. Stakeholders in the requirements process bring their expertise together using intuitive rich requirements text and visual notations in a collaborative, web-based environment. Rational Requirements Composer makes it much easier to automate deployment, trace, and report across multiple Jazz products that span requirements, development, and test management. Rational Requirements Composer seamlessly integrates with Rational Team Concert and Rational Quality Manager. Through role-based information access, project teams can shorten planning cycles and reduce rework by aligning development and test effort with requirements and business objectives.
