Manage Requirements, Not Documents

Hierarchical project tree acts as a

graphical “Table of Contents” for easy

reference

Secure login ID allows customized

interface and preferences by user

Familiar Explorer-style “Tree &Tab” interface makes it

easy for new users to learn

Each requirement is a named, numbered object in

the database…not just a blob of text embedded in a

document.

Customizable Project Format

Custom requirement types are reusable objects that can be

shared across projects

Custom attributes can be defined to extend

the requirement definition

Custom tabs provide personalized views into the requirements data

Customize Without Programming

All project customization is accomplished with graphical wizards and

dialogs.

No programming is experience necessary!

Requirement Grid View

Customizable grid view provides spreadsheet “look and

feel”

Grid columns can be selected, removed, reordered, and sorted

Custom filters can be defined to select only those requirements

that meet a certain criteria

Personalized format can be saved as a named object and

reused

True Multi-User Environment

As changes are made, CaliberRM

automatically locks and unlocks

requirements so that no conflicts can occur

Automatic requirement

versioning, including the ability to view any version at any

time

Baseline feature provides project-level versioning

Multiple users can be reading and/or

updating multiple requirements at one

time

Automated Audit History

Comprehensive audit history records all

changes to all requirements

Audit detail shows the changes made at the

property level, including before and after images

Change notification can be sent via email to interested parties

Side-By-Side Comparison

Compare requirement versions at the project

level or the requirement level

On-line Collaboration

Online discussion allows virtual “meetings” to be held electronically with the results

recorded along with the requirement definition

Discussions are often used to automate review and

approval cycles, dramatically reducing the average elapsed

timeCaliberRM tracks which users have seen which discussions

Patented “LiveLink” Traceability

Traceability records dependencies between requirements or from requirements to other

tools

Parent and child trace windows depict the

direction of the trace

Information in the trace window is retrieved in real-

time from the target technology

No import or exports necessary!

Full Life-Cycle Impact Analysis

The Traceability Diagram provides a graphical view of requirement dependencies

Can be used to analyze the impact of a requested or

pending change

The Traceability Matrix provides a row-column view of the relationships and

depicts both direct and derived dependencies

Template-Based Reporting

CaliberRM Document Factory provides customized reporting in virtually any output format. You can define

templates to match your existing documentation standards and generate reports on request or as part of

an automatic scheduled process.

Decision Support Analysis

The CaliberRM DataMart provides graphical analysis and reporting,

including drill-down capability and ad-hoc report customization
