"Simply put, DOORS has really revolutionized requirements management for our customers" HOLMES-TUCKER International Inc.

I am a DOORS user - how can DOORS/Analyst help me?

As a DOORS user you already know that a modern requirements management system can be a formidable competitive weapon. The ability to capture, track and manage user needs and their changes throughout a project's lifecycle is absolutely vital as systems and software development projects increase in size and complexity. And to be able to ensure - and demonstrate - that all requirements are clearly communicated and completely fulfilled at project delivery is what often makes the difference between project success and failure.

DOORS/Analyst is a natural extension to the rich capabilities already available in DOORS. With its powerful, yet easy-to-learn visual modeling features, DOORS/Analyst provides complete freedom of expression when defining requirements. With DOORS/Analyst you can easily augment your requirements descriptions with pictures, diagrams and models, to give extra life to and simplify understanding of requirements.

And since DOORS/Analyst works inside DOORS, it is completely integrated with all the capabilities that have made DOORS the industry's number one requirements management tool. This includes tool-supported generation of model elements from requirements, automatic synchronization of textual requirements and models, linking and traceability between text and models, and full baselining of models together with textual requirements.

DOORS/Analyst and visual modeling of requirements will enhance your requirements management in many ways:

• Enhanced requirements capture by creating a simple and powerful way for you to communicate with customers and end users.
• Clarification of complex requirements for improved understanding between all team members and from stakeholders - even non-technical staff.
• Establishing an approach to reuse, by allowing exporting of visual models to systems and software development tools, saving time and ensuring a requirements-driven development process across all teams*.
