The Ravenflow Requirements Analysis and Management Process (RAMP) is a business-oriented requirements methodology that describes a best practices approach to defining product, system or software application requirements for optimal implementation by your project team. With a primary objective of getting the right requirements defined up-front, the RAMP methodology has the following key characteristics:
• It reflects a clear business perspective, where the entire requirements lifecycle is driven by business, for business.
• It is process-based, where requirements are defined by analyzing the business processes where the resulting solution will be used.
• It emphasizes the importance of enabling clear communication and true collaboration between business and IT stakeholders.
• It is highly compatible with lean, agile approaches to software development and delivery.
• It is tool- and technology-agnostic, and thus can be applied successfully whether RAVEN or any other product is being used.
The Ravenflow RAMP Methodology describes a business-driven, best practices approach to planning, eliciting, specifying, validating and managing requirements for maximum project success. Bringing together proven business process and use case analysis techniques, the methodology enables rapid definition of essential business requirements by modeling and analyzing the processes where the solution will be used. Required capabilities are mapped from their parent business processes, then broken down into increasing levels of detail until the entire project scope has been specified. This not only ensures the requirements fully reflect business needs, but contain the detail necessary for successful implementation by the development team.
