Keep an eye out for the second two posts on how requirements traceability will be different in the 2020s, and lessons learned from 2010s Agile product development.<\/p>\n<p>There are new software capabilities being developed every day keeping us dazzled with trend-driven analytics and massive data analysis. At the end of the day though, it\u2019s humans that are <em>still<\/em> <em>accountable<\/em> for the product development decisions being made with or without cutting-edge analysis tools. Even with the advancement of automated analytics, decision-makers must still demand good information so they can truly own their choices in complex product development.<\/p>\n<p>Making good decisions depends on the ability to see comprehensible information as change happens in real time, both within your team and throughout the system your product exists in. That\u2019s where modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/blog\/better-product-development-tips-for-traceability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">traceability<\/a> comes in \u2013 it makes it possible to manage and respond to change in a <em>systematic<\/em>, <em>auditable<\/em>, <em>confidence-enhancing<\/em> way.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than trying to prevent change (still impossible with our current technology for now\u2026), here are three ways traceability has evolved to support the dynamic job of decision makers.<\/p>\n<h2>Evolution 1: <strong>Modern traceability can capture when you actually make a decision, in multiple formats from both formal and informal situations.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Decisions have varying levels of durability, and it\u2019s not always obvious at the time what that level is. Sometimes you know at the time you\u2019re making a final, consequential decision. Other times you make what you think is a temporary choice and you\u2019re living with it 5-10+ years later. Given that uncertainty, having mechanisms to see when decisions are made (throughout the development process) is essential when products are expected to be maintained for years. We may need to move on quickly in the development process, but the record can live on for future context.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Action:<\/strong> Formal decision processes such as gate reviews can be managed in tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.jamasoftware.com\/collaboration\/best-practices-for-jama-connect-review-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jama Connect\u2122 Review Center<\/a>, making it easier to mark versions of requirements as signed-off and complete. Decisions that arise from less formal activities like comment threads on requirements can be tagged and referenced later to piece together thinking from the past.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37023\" style=\"width: 984px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37023\" class=\"wp-image-37023 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/media\/2020\/01\/Screenshot1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"864\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37023\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Electronically sign-off on formal reviews using Jama Connect Review Center.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cCatching these traceability gaps would\u2019ve probably taken hours or days in our old system, while with Jama, it became obvious in a matter of minutes.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.jamasoftware.com\/customer-story\/how-ossur-uses-jama-connect-to-keep-millions-of-people-moving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read how Jama Connect improved O\u0308ssur\u2019s traceability process<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Evolution 2: <strong>Modern traceability connects people to the context of what they\u2019re working on as they go \u2013 not just globally or in a matrix after the fact. <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Traceability gives people a (specific) reason to care when asking for input. It helps everyone know why they\u2019re there. Rather than rely on sharing lengthy Word documents or running general meetings, precise outreach is possible with precise mapping of work items (including their owners and contributors) to each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Action<\/strong>: Figure out who to direct questions to or notify by looking at interconnected people, not just the work items. This list can be automatically generated with Jama Connect\u2019s connected users feature \u2013 so knowing who to contact won&#8217;t slow anyone down from having timely conversations.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37026\" style=\"width: 984px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37026\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/media\/2020\/01\/Screenshot2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"527\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">See who\u2019s related to each item with connected users.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><sub>\u00a0<\/sub><\/p>\n<h2>Evolution 3: <strong>Traceability can show past decisions, because they\u2019ve been captured all along.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Can you follow any thread of a question or item to how it got there and why? Knowing who made a decision, and what information *they* had access to is as important as the information itself. Your traceability is incomplete if you can\u2019t piece that together. The faster the better. The responsible thing to do: Make the task of keeping useful records low friction. It doesn\u2019t need to be forced behavior if it\u2019s captured along the way as a biproduct of doing your job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Action<\/strong>: Building technical requirements directly from primary source materials, like high level market requirements, has multiple benefits. It simplifies the authoring process by having the downstream requirements writing right next to the source materials, so the translation step is that much easier. It also ensures that when something changes downstream, features like Jama Connect\u2019s suspect links can show where those changes impact other work in real time \u2013 no need to wait for an event to reconcile the original goals with what was built.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37029\" style=\"width: 984px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37029\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37029\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jamasoftware.com\/media\/2020\/01\/Screenshot3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"545\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">View the context of how decisions were made with commenting in single-item view.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Traceability can be used to support more genuine accountability. Without robust, modern traceability tools accountability is incomplete &#8212; past decisions can\u2019t easily be seen, learned from, or built upon when new choices are made. It\u2019s much harder to legitimately hold someone accountable when they\u2019re working in the dark.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>To go deeper on the topic of traceability, and how Jama Connect helps fast track the process, check out our eBook, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.jamasoftware.com\/ebook\/the-jama-software-guide-to-requirements-traceability\">The Jama Software Guide to Requirements Traceability<\/a>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"37022\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traceability makes it possible to manage and respond to change in a systematic, auditable, confidence-enhancing way in complex product development. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":46308,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[521],"tags":[306,452,27],"industry":[],"class_list":["post-37022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-traceability","tag-modern-traceability","tag-requirements-traceability","tag-traceability"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
