Requirements Engineering in an Agile Environment

Agile development generally focuses on an iterative and collaborative process to manage a small software development team with improvement seen in the areas of alignment with business goals, reduced development costs, faster time to market, and lower investment in skills and process. But can Agile still achieve these benefits when applied to more complex, large-scale projects requiring more intricate and formal requirements techniques that take into account factors such as complex behavior, regulatory compliance, audit trails, or a rigorous testing program?

This webinar discusses how to effectively scale an Agile development environment as well as why, when and how use cases make sense in an Agile environment when functional, or behavioral, requirements are important.

Pragmatic Adoption of RequisitePro

Many projects find that Microsoft Word, Excel, or event e-mail works satisfactory for capturing and expressing their requirements. While this approach may be successful for the smallest of projects, as size and complexity increase, it becomes increasingly difficult to socialize the requirements, gain and monitor acceptance, and track interdependencies. True requirements management requires additional tool capabilities. In this talk we will discuss how requirements can be optimally transitioned to RequisitePro and how to maximize the capabilities of the tool.

7 Essential Steps for Adopting Agile Practices

By now, everyone has heard of how agile approaches greatly improve productivity by enabling collaboration and minimizing complexity. Although light on formal process, the highly iterative and fast moving nature of agility requires disciplined execution and highly capable tools for successful execution of the daily development plan. This presentation explains the basic agile principles and their value to the project, the role and importance of automation in agility with an introduction to Rational Team Concert, and a rollout checklist for organizations deploying agile processes.

Minimum Path to Automation

IconATG's "Minimum Path To Automation" (MPTA) is a process specifically designed to help you achieve maximum value from your automated software development tools.

MPTA focuses on successful adoption of tools by achieving the MAXIMUM value from the MINIMUM investment of money and time. By adopting tools where maximum value is expected, organizations not only realize the benefits of automation more quickly, they also better understand the importance and contribution of each tool as it is deployed.

In addition to identifying, installing, and configuring the tool, MPTA focuses on 3 areas crucial for successful tool adoption: culture, process, and skills. These often overlooked areas will have the greatest impact on the success of your automated tool deployment.
