Requirements project templates

You can use several different templates to create new requirements projects.

Important: Applying project templates from a version n of DOORS Next to a n-1 is not supported. For example, you cannot apply a project template from 7.x version to 6.x version for creating project areas.
The following table provides a brief description of some of the sample project templates. However, for a more comprehensive list of the artifact types, artifact attributes, attribute data types, link types, and templates that comprise each sample, create a project by using a project template and then click Manage Project Properties from the Administration menu.
Note: If configuration management is enabled for your project, on the Administration menu, click Manage Component Properties.
Note: SAFe 6.0 templates for IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) are available on Jazz.net. You can download the templates from SAFe 6.0 templates for IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management. The available predefined process templates are Full SAFe 6.0 and Essential SAFe 6.0. You can use them to configure tooling environment for SAFe Portfolio, Large Solution, Portfolio, or Essential SAFe 6.0 configuration in ELM. For more information, see Say Hello to SAFe 6.0!.
