Reuse of knowledge at an atomic and package level has been the pursuit of virtually every facet of knowledge development. In software development concepts such as object oriented development, framework based architecture, SOA and adaptive systems have achieved reuse to various degrees. However in requirements development where knowledge is diverse (business, users, and system requirements such as FR, NFR, BR, Goal/KPI, Risk/Mitigation, data, process, reporting specs….) and often complex little advancement has been done in normalizing this knowledge through reuse and repurposing of the knowledge base.

Problems of redundancy, fragmentation and out dated documentation have yield a huge price in terms of project failure, cost over runs, lost opportunities and frustrated stakeholders. These concepts are a direct result of lack of knowledge reuse and repurposing of that knowledge to suit the needs of various stakeholders.

Here are some examples of requirements redundancy:

1)      Business rules being used and referenced from multiple specifications (e.g. use case, SRS, BRS, Test cases) and often this information is shared across multiple projects.

2)      Use cases, Test cases, flow charts, swim lane diagrams and traceability matrix have nearly the same information so they are defined multiple times and often by different individuals.

3)      Content in various document such as Charter, Scope, SRS, BRS, UC, … share information – users copy/paste this content and quickly lose consistency between documents as the requirements evolve.

inteGREAT solves many of the above problems of requirements development by  using a knowledge centric solution where information reuse, both atomically within a project, or as specification across project help eliminate redundancy, fragmentation and inconsistency in specifications developed. It speeds up the time to requirements definition, validation, automated simulation and test document generation. What users took days can now be done in hours in an effective requirements JAD sessions.

Knowledge is the new frontier & your best friend. inteGREAT give you the tool to define and harness that knowledge.
