Comments for Where Technology Meets Teamwork http://blog.nwcadence.com Thoughts on VSTS, Sharepoint and other collaborative technologies Sun, 04 Apr 2010 05:36:54 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 Comment on The Problem with Requirements Engineering tools by JayCharly http://blog.nwcadence.com/2007/11/the-problem-with-requirements-engineering-tools/comment-page-1/#comment-114 JayCharly Sun, 04 Apr 2010 05:36:54 +0000 http://blog.nwcadence.com/2007/11/16/the-problem-with-requirements-engineering-tools/#comment-114 I think there's a misconception about requirements management here. RM is not about gathering better requirements, it is about managing the requirements life-cycle so that creation, removal, updating and deletion operations are performed in an organized and controlled way. Therefore, anyone who uses an RM tool should not expect to improve the internal quality of the requirements produced. I agree with you about encouraging the development of communicative skills in order to promote a better understanding between analysts and stakeholders when eliciting requirements.

Then I had to go into add/remove programs and re-enter the key, the permanent key this time. Is there an easier way to do this (yet)? Thanks in advance.
