Well I’ve been a bit quite of late as I have been on some much needed rest and relaxation so I have sadly neglected my blog.
I have had a number of comments with suggested tools to consider and comments wanting to know which requirements management tool we choose. After a couple of months of assessing different requirements management applications we did propose Holocentric to the management team. We liked its requirements management flexibility, business process mapping, ability to map relationship and traceability.
We hit a wall though when it can to implementation and unfortunately have had to go back to our previous tools. There were two main barriers.
1. Cost: Set up costs of initial training and licences required to to use the product (these costs were not part of the original project budget so would require new funding).
2. Downtime: We had invested so much time already using the current tools that to convert our current work to the new software would mean a lot of rework to get to the same point and extend the project time-lines.
So, whilst it was too late for this particular project, we now are aware of other tools out there and can captilise on these for our next project.
