Requirements writing

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

IBM (formerly Rational) RequisitePro is a powerful tool for writing software requirements.

This tool is most effective when you are managing hundreds of requirements. Authors write with MS Word, and the requirements become part of a database which provides flexibility in retrieval and reporting.

stpBA Storyboarding integrates requirements management with diagramming of task flows and specifications. It can be used as a standalone tool, or integrated with IBM RequisitePro.

The Confluence Wiki is being used for collaborative work, including writing requirements.
