When discussing the requirements management process with my clients, I\u2019ll often say, \u201cthe first step in maturing your requirements management process is to use an enterprise tool such as \u201cJama Connect.\u201d<\/a> This allows for scalability of their process and more importantly, the ability to manage change across their product lifecycle. Features such as the Review Center, Baseline Capture and Compare, Collaboration, Suspect Triggers and Variant Management are all necessary parts of the process that allow for tight control and the ability to meet the most rigorous of standards. Once that message becomes clear to my clients and the benefit realized, the next aspect of the conversation is, \u201cCan you write GOOD, high-quality requirements?\u201d It\u2019s one thing to get your requirements into a formal tool, but what if the requirements aren\u2019t any good to begin with? As the old adage says, \u201cgarbage in, garbage out\u201d. This problem becomes magnified to a dangerous extent when your requirements define life-saving devices or mission-critical hardware and software.<\/p>\n Enter Jama Connect Advisor to the conversation. Jama Connect Advisor<\/a> is a state-of-the-art requirements authoring guide and optimizer powered by natural language processing that helps a system engineer or a product developer write effective, well-organized requirement specifications based on industry-accepted INCOSE<\/a> (International Council on Systems Engineering) rules and the EARS<\/a> (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) notation.<\/p>\n Jama Connect Advisor allows you to analyze requirements text to provide a quality score based on the INCOSE<\/a> and\/or EARS<\/a> rules the user chooses to validate against. This analysis can be done on a single item or \u201cin bulk\u201d against multiple requirements. Reports provide a detailed overview of the quality and score of the requirements. This allows for requirements authors to iterate on their requirements and improve the scores, ultimately resulting in better quality requirements across the entire lifecycle.<\/p>\n When all of your downstream requirements and tests are dependent on how a requirement is defined, it is extremely important that the quality of the requirements are there from day one. With the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing, it is a natural extension to apply these techniques to requirements management creation and elaboration.<\/p>\n Jama Software continues to make strides in this area and we have recently relaunched our Jama Labs Website. Some of the exciting functionality we are exploring includes:<\/p>\n The maturity and scale of your requirements process doesn\u2019t end with managing them in a formal tool. There must be a focus on defining good, quality requirements and the ability to detect and report on the quality in real time easily. This visibility allows for authors to quickly update their requirements for better quality from the beginning. When everything downstream depends on it, the quality of your requirements truly does matter.<\/p>\n Visit our labs website to learn more. labs.jamasoftware.com<\/a><\/p>\n
