Description:

The term requirements tool covers such a wide range of very different tools that it may not be possible to treat them as the same species. Requirements tools address a broad array of business problems from information overload to compliance and user rejection to miscommunications.

Therefore, the adage "the right tool for the right job" definitely applies to requirements tools. We have segmented the requirements tool market by the business problems that they address.

Development teams in both IT departments and tech industry companies need to work backward from the problems that they want to solve, not forward from a particular requirements tool's functionality. In this teleconference, we help teams identify the tools that can best address their needs and how to prove the value of this investment.

Agenda:

  • The ROI of requirements tools
  • Different business problems, different tools
  • How the needs of IT and TI differ
  • Recommendations and next steps

Vendors mentioned: Accept Software, Atlassian, IBM, iRise, Micro Focus, Microsoft, Rally Software, Ryma Technology Solutions, Serena, VersionOne, and others
