The Challenge of ALMMarket Definition Develop Test

Test Results

• Manual Traceability

• Poor visibility of impact of change

• No reuse of data/Duplicated data

• Time spent looking for info

• Multiple repositories

Change Management

Change Management• Manage changes in a disconnected repository• Evaluate change before implementation• Manage change workflow

Customers Change Requests

Project Roadmap (Pool)

Internal Change Requests

Change Management Process1. Add change to pool

Change Management Process2. Approve change

Change Management Process3. Implement change

Added from change

management repository

Change Management Process4. Cover change with test case

Change Management Report

Requirements Management Summary

• Manage various type of requirements

• Change management using versions mechanism and change

request repository

• Use workflow to automate requirements lifecycle

• Full Traceability from market to R&D, across projects

• Full Office Integration

Implementing QPack• Organization Analysis

– Organization structure, users and roles– Products and solutions– Process mapping– Existing tools– Existing working methodologies

• Implementation and training– Standards and documents management– Business requirements processes– Development requirements processes– Coverage and traceability processes– Test plan and execution processes– Defects tracking processes– Reporting and alerts– Administration
