Analysis/Requirements/Tracking Applications 

Hi,

I have looked at a couple products mentioned in this forum but I was just wondering if there were any new ones that people know of. I have tried the following

EdgeRM

Lighthouse

OSRMT - Cant download a full copy and its not being developed/supported anymore)

Getting a trial version of CaseSpec - so will evaluate that

But other than the above, are there any other ones I should be looking at?

Thanks,

Re: Analysis/Requirements/Tracking Applications 

Greetings Tank,

Looks like you having "fun" with these products. Check out http://www.volere.co.uk/tools.htm they've summarised the features of a lot of tools. Perhaps you could ad to the list.

If you find new ones, post the evaluations on this site. Now that would be excellent!

 

warm regards,

K

Well, I think that I have decided to go with Enterprise Architect from http://www.sparxsystems.com.au.

Seems to be quite powerful if not a little intimidating.

Tank,

EA is a good tool. I've used it now for a few years. Its a relative inexpensive way to introduce companies to a tool that does BPMN and UML 2 quite effectively. I've written one or two templates to create word documents as well as tagged values to create stereotypes. I found importing and exporrting XMI files quite a good means to manage a team of people working on various parts of the system and then storing everything in a central repository.

It also has a good way of connecting declarative requirements to usecases.

All the best.

Tank,

Check out www.holocentric.com

Been using them for a couple of years. Its model based with all the sharing stuff built in. It allows you to take a process based approach which I really like and have been using successfully.

I think its way better than EA but that's just my opinion.

As Business Analysts in Agile teams, we often hear about Definition of Ready (DOR) and Definition of Done (DOD). But beyond the buzzwords, these two concepts are powerful tools to drive clarity, consistency, and quality in our work. Definition of Ready ensures a user story is truly ready for development. It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
