Objective: To create a project using the templates provided with RequisitePro.
RequisitePro is a powerful, easy-to-use requirements management tool that helps teams manage project requirements comprehensively, promotes communication and collaboration among team members, and reduces project risk.
Requirements management is essential for improving your software development process. The better the communication and management of your requirements, the more likely you are to identify the correct problem and deliver the right solution, and to do that on time and within budget. RequisitePro helps facilitate that process.
RequisitePro offers the power of a database and Microsoft Word. Its robust architecture maintains live requirements documents that are dynamically linked to a database for powerful sort and query capabilities. This allows you to easily organize and prioritize your requirements, to trace relationships between them, and track changes that affect them. Robust traceability features visually indicate how changes affect the project, thereby giving you the ability to perform real-time impact analysis and allowing you to make informed decisions for scope management or resource allocation. As a result, you are better able to manage requirement change, and your project is less likely to spiral off course. RequisitePro captures the change history for each requirement, thereby providing a paper audit of the evolution of project requirements.
RequisitePro is integrated with other Rational Suite products. All of the products in the Rational Suite family are team-unifying tools and include additional role-specific tools to optimize each suite for the individual practitioner.
