Market Requirements
Market Requirements gathering for Application Lifecycle Management
Failure in defining customer needs and inaccurate change management are main causes of project failure. Improved identification of needs at the beginning, and effective management of these requirements throughout the lifecycle, ensure delivery of product that reflects the end user needs.
QPack ALM 2.0 provides a professional tool for product management, based on Blackblot's methodology for Market Requirements definition and traceability. This module manages marketing data, and helps high-tech companies reach commercial success through effective product management practices. Our market requirements definition tool supports target user profiles, directives, rationales, constraints and sources, and allows traceability verification between market requirements management and product requirements management, as part of the whole Development Life cycle process.
The product manager knows, when using QPack SDLC traceability matrix, which market requirements where covered in the product requirements definition, and on which version, and can actually trace the market requirement lifecycle from the features definition phase, to its testing and quality measurements, design documents, defects reported, and changes over the development lifecycle process.
How to relate market requirements and product requirements
After the marketing specifications are entered in the MRD module, they can be connected to product requirements. This can be done in two ways: The first way is to create the product requirements in the user application, and then link these to the marketing requirements. The second way is to create the product requirements directly in the marketing module by converting the marketing requirements - after the conversion they are stored in a requirement pool and automatically linked with their parent marketing requirements. The requirement pool is a repository of reusable requirements, which can be imported to the project anytime
