Check out this Ravenflow-hosted webinar featuring Mary Gerush, Analyst, Forrester Research, Inc.
Mary spoke about the results of her two-year long journey researching requirements skills, best practices, processes, and tools. Mary spoke about how some of the latest trends, including Agile methodologies, Lean Software, and Software-as-a-Service, have changed the way organizations are defining and managing high quality software requirements in the pursuit of delivering better products.
I couldn’t/can’t join the webinar due to something with our company firewalls/connection.
Any chance of the deck being made available NOW – so I can catch up with the slides that match what I’m listening too?
Thx

Nigel, I’m in GM5 if you want to come and watch my slides…
Will a copy of the presentation be made available for download?
What are some of the key advantages/benefits to investing in the purchase of a Requirements Tool? Like most companies, we seem to work in MS Word and Visio to produce our documentation/diagrams. What are the key selling points to convince management to invest in a Requirements Definition Tool/Management Tool?
Hi Dave,
Some of the vendors or just google searches have some ROI information on implementing requirements tools to claim cost savings to the business on improved quality, reduced timelines, reduced rework etc.
The more qualitative side for me/our company has come from identifying the current pain points and problem statement for the way things currently are. For me for example, trying to work with hefty word doc files for a set of use cases, that don’t have any neat relationship with a Use Case diagram (visio or UML tool) and that also don’t have any neat relationship with UI sketchs/wireframes (visio or Ppt or PDF) and with scenarios (Excel) and test materials (MQC)….. just makes working so arduous and definitly inefficient and ineffective…..
…. so tooling can potentially tie different elements together into a highly productive and collaborative way of working.
