Track Keynote for the Requirements Definition & Management Track at the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009 Requirements Definition and Management encompasses all of the activities that revolve around eliciting, defining, elaborating, understanding, organizing, reviewing, and communicating business, user, and software requirements, as well as defining solutions based on those business goals and objectives. These activities are done because they help ensure that the applications that are developed solve the real business and customer problems. This track explores the experiences of organizations with tools, techniques, and processes used to effectively define and manage requirements and analyze systems. Analysts, architects, developers, project managers, and others interested in methodology and tools for defining, managing, and analyzing requirements should attend this track.

“Delphi uses IBM Rational DOORS to meet customer
requirements faster, more accurately and with less cost”
Goal: Cost savings through component reuse
among global development teams.
Method: Automate requirements management
Decision: One year parallel project with DOORS
and another RM tool. Selected DOORS.
Enablers: Training, implementation and on-site
mentoring services by Telelogic
Benefits: “Telelogic DOORS
Improved team communications improves development
Better able to catch “orphan requirements” and team communication,
other problems earlier in the development lifecycle which helps us meet
customer requirements
Outcomes: faster and more
Reduction in costly rework accurately.”
Better quality (meeting customer requirements) Lillian Kelly,
Faster time-to-market Senior Systems Engineer,
Costs managed more accurately. Delphi
