[. . . ] DATA SHEET Borland® CaliberRMTM BUSINESS CHALLENGE DETAILED FEATURE OVERVIEW One of the greatest challenges facing software engineering teams today is that of pure complexity. Requirements management is the collaborative process of collecting, documenting, and validating a set of requirements which constitutes an agreement amongst key project stakeholders. [. . . ] Analysis ­ CaliberRM is renowned for its ease of use. This fact, combined with powerful linking and tracing capabilities across the lifecycle and between different configurable requirement types, makes for a powerful traceability capability. The task of impact analysis is simplified greatly by easy connectivity to related artefacts and visual representation of the relationships between these and requirements. Specification ­ Defined requirement types ensure that projects are organised in a logical and meaningful way, by means of a hierarchical requirements "tree". By adopting a requirements granularity level that meets the purpose, downstream activities such as design, development and testing are easier to manage. The ability to generate template based output from the requirements repository turns the creation of formal specifications from a chore into an automated and effortless task. Validation ­ By means of a combination of topical discussions, baselining and electronic signatures, the quality of requirements themselves can be validated and managed as changes are required. In addition, notification of changes can be automated, thus ensuring that key stakeholders are kept informed as change occurs. This serves to create more accurate and complete requirements that truly meet the business needs. Designed to ensure complete and accurate requirements, CaliberRMTM is the proven requirements management tool of choice for customers worldwide who have to deal with the ever increasing amount of requirements complexity associated with modern software development. CaliberRM enables distributed stakeholders to collaborate effectively so that projects can be delivered on time, within budget, and with greater customer satisfaction. CaliberRM provides a single system of record for requirements throughout their lifecycle with the ability to connect and sync those requirements to key stakeholders, such as quality teams for example. The solution effectively builds a bridge between the line of business and IT, making requirements clear and accessible, in order for teams to manage projects successfully and with clear traceability to the current needs.
