I Want To ... Have an Owner View of the problem space
I want all my users to have ownership. Every object should be owned by some one.
Each user should be able to see a simple dash board, and be able to quickly figure out what the trouble spots are, and what they need to do
to fix things.
A Requirements Management system should be simple , easy to use and inviting for my users
I want every user to get his / her own Dashboard, that shows the potential troublespots for their work.
A single pane of glass that shows the Dangling , Orphan, Suspect, Incomplete and Non validated work in their domain.
They should be able to click within this pane, get to their data and quickly take care of things.
I Want To ... Have a Folder View of the problem space
I want requirements to be organized by Folders and Sub Folders. Once work is organized this way, I
should be able to quickly see a Dashboard for the status of objects in thsi folder.
A single pane of glass that shows the Dangling , Orphan, Suspect, Incomplete and Non validated work in this folders.
They should be able to click within this pane, get to their data and quickly take care of things.
The beauty of this model is that we can focus on Funcational Areas and make sure that there are no gaps in this area.
For example : All objects in the area "Folder : Business Requirements/Electrical components" are approved, there are no
suspect up / down stream links, tested and validated.
I Want To ... Have a Baseline View of the problem space
Baselining is a big deal for me. I should be able to define a logical grouping of requirements, take a snapshot at a point it time
and be able to compare changes since the baseline, compare this baseline with other baseline and see a dashboard for the statys of all the
requirements in this logical grouping.
The beauty of this model is that I can organize my requirements in Folders and Sub Folders based on my functional need, but have a logical grouping of objects
and track this group as an entity.
For example : I have 2 important clients, and each of them are interested in different requirements spread acorss my Folder structure. I can create a baseline
for each of them and track the progress of requirement deliver in each group independently.
A single pane of glass that shows all the trouble spots ( Dangling , Orphan, Suspect, Incomplete and Non validated work) in this logical grouping
My users should be able to click within this pane, get to their data and quickly take care of things.
I Want To ... Have a Release View of the problem space
Even though I may have 100's of requirements, only some of them get completed in each release. But each of these requirements in a release
will have downstream requirements.
So, it's critical for me to be able to build a 'RELEASE VIEW' of my project, where I can see ALL the work required to pull off a succesful release
For example : I am tracking a release for Dec 2017 and this release has 10 User Needs, 50 Business Requirements, 100 Functional, 250 Security, 600 Compliance and
1000 Test Cases and 1800 Test Results
All these objects connect with each other to form a large Release Trace Tree. What I need a is a view of the health of entire Release comprise all these objects
A single pane of glass that shows all the troublespots ( Dangling , Orphan, Suspect, Incomplete and Non validated work) in this Release
should be available.
My users should be able to click within this pane, get to their data and quickly take care of things.
I Want To ... Have a Project View of the problem space
A single pane of view of the summary of all the objects in the project. A place where I can see all the saved report, the health of the project
and actionable links to take care of trouble spots before things go bad
I Want To ... Have an Audit Trail of every change
From a compliance perspective, I should able to quickly see ANY and ALL changes on thsi project
Since my project has multiple users spread across the globe, I should be able to narrow down and focus on Users, Folders, Tyep of change, Time period
and be able to provide a change log for the auditors
I Want To ... Have a view of all changes since my vacation started
We all take vacations !!!
When my team members come back , they should be able to quickly come up to speed by easily seeing changes / comments at a Functional (Folder / Sub Folder) level
or at a Project level
