Details

Project success is driven by the ability to capture the evolving needs of a business and then share this information across teams in a clear and concise way. This briefing highlights the key role that requirements play in application lifecycle management -- from business needs identification, to design, development, testing, and reporting. Although requirements provide the foundation for business strategy, organizations still use isolated, ad-hoc techniques to define and manage requirements. In this briefing, you’ll learn how IBM Rational products help teams use requirements to create better business driven solutions.

This briefing provides a look at the process of using IBM Rational Requirements Composer and IBM Rational RequisitePro to define and manage requirements. During this briefing you'll hear about, or see demonstrations of several IBM Rational tools including:

• New Jazz collaborative technology
• Rational Requirements Composer
• Rational RequisitePro
• Rational Quality Manager
