DOORS®
DOORS® (Dynamic Object Oriented Requirements System) is Telelogic's flagship product, and is the world’s leading requirements management tool. DOORS® enables project teams to deconstruct all types of documents, filtering out the true requirements from the guidance and 'nice to have' statements which commonly obscure what the customer really wants. The DOORS® database enables these requirements to be organised in a logical structure. By feeding this back to the customer, the true requirements can be identified at the start of the programme. Too often in the past, hidden requirements were missed and only emerged later on, resulting arguments and recriminations.
DOORS® allows traceability of requirements throughout the whole system, so that for example if the customer requires a requirement change to a subsystem, the consequences of that change can be easily seen. An impact analysis and cost-benefit analysis can be carried out for proposed changes. The smallest change can so often lead to an enormous cost.
The requirements database focuses project teams on the issue of acceptance; i.e. how to demonstrate to the customer that the project has been successfully achieved. The need to demonstrate acceptance, and above all the cost of demonstrating acceptance are crucial issues, often glossed over at the start of a project.
DOORS® also enables project managers to track progress.
The requirements database enables project managers to derive a logical work breakdown structure with better control of progress and costs, and clearer assignment of project responsibility. Earned Value Management techniques can be more easily applied to projects which have a logical work breakdown structure and clear lines of responsibility.
Moreover, tracks all changes that are made, date-stamps them and records who made the change.
The functionality of DOORS® offers a highly effective means of managing a project and should be an indispensable tool for project teams.
