Applications Lifecycle Management

Requirements management is proven as the best methodology and approach to controlling software quality and meeting project delivery dates. Managing your requirements successfully means having complete visibility and accountability so your organization understands where and what the requirements are across the application lifecycle. Serena Composer and Serena RTM provide you with a unique, end-to-end requirements solution, giving you both insight into what was defined and full traceability every step of the way.

As projects evolve, (e.g., customer's needs change or approvals are gained), requirements continuously change in scope, priority, costs and detail. Not only are requirements changing, they are also moved from release to release. Requirements management is all about capturing, tracking and recording changes all within an auditable history. This allows you to retrace the solution and evolution of a requirement at any time.

Achieve clarity to requirements by visualizing and prototyping them first with Serena Composer. These clear requirements can be published to Serena RTM where you'll gain valuable insight into changes — when changes are made, who made them and why they where made. Baselines can be made at any time, assuring a consistent release.  Historical reports can show differences between changes. Impact Assessments can then be performed to find the impact of a change on any other portion of the system.

When you visualize and manage requirements with the combination of Composer and RTM, your projects success rate will dramatically improve as measured by improved quality, lower cost and reduced risk.
