Hi,
In another topic George DeCandio wrote:

The Jazz Requirements incubator (Story authoring) was an experiment around integrating requirements into the Jazz environment. We have learned a lot from this incubator and the RequisitePro team is working hard to integrate what we have learned into future product. Any future product that IBM would come out with around requirements would certainly cater to our existing RequisitePro customer base by either integrating with RequisitePro or by offering a migration path.

Although the Jazz Story Authoring incubator on Jazz.net has ended for the time being, you be assured that IBM is committed to innovating in the requirements space. More to come.

Hi,

I've extracted the allincubators on the client. though some plugins such as reports have been added, the requirments are not displayed. is extracting the allincubators enough to add this plugin..

thanks

Is there a plan to include this work that the RegPro team is progessing into the JAZZ releases? I think it would help Jazz (Rational Team Concert) cover the end-to-end SDLC more thoroughly. I appreciate that there is a need to provide integration for the existing ReqPro customer base, but from what I have seen the Jazz deleopment approach and goals might help to drive some innovate new ideas and features in the requirements gathering space.

I personally feel the it is time for a face-lift and feature-lift for ReqPro. I would like to see more requirements and Use Case best practices implmented in a tool that allows for easy tracabilty to the soure code, especilly in a more agile environement where not a lot of modelling is done. The hope would be that a tool like Jazz could provide a much tighter more seamless integration of the Rational products like ReqPro, ClearQuest, Test Manager, Funcitonal Tester etc.

my 2 cents on the topic -

After just finishing a 40 people global development project (without using Jazz) some of the big needs were
* Ability to track the progress against the requirements
* Trace back into the deliverables where the requirements had been covered.
* Provide the means to facilitate discussions and capture all clarifications around a given topic (requirement) and ensure everybody has the same understanding

As others have said Jazz seems like the right platform to facilitate this integration and cover the end 2 end Software Development lifecycle.

Jim.

Jazz currently includes Plan Items and RFS WorkItems, could you use these two records types to accomplish what you need?
