| Tools consulting streamlines requirements
management process |
| |
 |
| |
| The idea |
| By implementing tools driven requirements
management process, rework effort and version mismanagement
can be minimized. |
| |
| The client |
| The client is a Fortune
100 company and one of the largest office equipment suppliers. |
| |
| The business challenge |
| The client had acquired
a third party 'point of sale' application that lacked
well defined processes and procedures. There was no automation
for requirements gathering, release definition and change
management. There were multiple teams working on parallel
releases with more than one release working on the same
set of requirements. This lead to frequent conflicts and
redundancy of releases due to changes in the underlying
requirements. |
| |
| The solution |
| The Wipro team defined
a detailed requirements management process using CaliberRM,
encompassing requirements gathering, transformation, traceability,
baseline and change management. A policy and procedure
documentation containing detailed guidelines was also
created. The practitioners trained through a series of
workshops to ensure familiarization with the tool and
with the process implementation. |
| |
| Business benefits |
 |
Through implementation
of tools driven requirements process, the wastage
in form of rework in projects, version mismanagement
was minimized |
|
The practitioners were able to
link requirements across projects and receive a
comprehensive view of how requirements are related
to each other |
|
The tool enabled a complete description
of the linked requirements with built-in real time
alerts on change in requirements |
