RM Tool Evaluation and Selection

HOOD offers a systematic approach for evaluating and selecting a requirements management (RM) software tool. This is based on many years of experience and extensive know-how regarding the use of various RM tools in development projects. It enables evaluation and selection based on individual criteria that are aligned to the intended use in your organisation. The selection process is in several stages that allow a comprehensive evaluation of the RM tools whilst minimising the time and effort required.

HOOD's experts will analyse the relevant framework and processes required in your company for the deployment of a RM tool. They will determine your needs and prioritise the evaluation criteria with you. This involves working closely with managers in several areas, e.g. in process and methodology, development etc.

HOOD will also be on hand to advise you where tool vendors are required to explain how their RM tool meets the criteria stated using specific user scenarios. We will evaluate all of the results and support you in the decision-making process. HOOD will work with you in running pilot projects using the chosen RM tool, to verify that your needs have been met and validate the RM tool's capabilities.

HOOD's services will help you to find the most suitable RM tool and successfully introduce it into your organisation. This will allow you to improve your requirements management and engineering and achieve increased efficiency in your development activities.
