Enfocus Solutions Inc. Enhances and Expands its Requirements Management Resources for Improved Business Analysis and Quick, Comprehensive Solutions

Enfocus Solutions Inc. has announced changes to its unique RequirementCoach™, the guide that comes with the Enterprise subscription of the company’s requirements management tool, Enfocus Requirements Suite™.

Enfocus Solutions Inc. CEO John Parker said the changes are designed to make the system easier to use so that analysts can get off to a quick start on enterprise projects.

“We’re excited about these changes. There’s so much content and information packed in this software – and now it will be even easier and faster for users to access requirements knowledge and best practices and hit the ground running,” said Parker.

RequirementCoach™, along with Requirements Excellence Framework™, provides the requirements instruction, training, and guidance that set this requirements management software, Enfocus Requirements Suite™, apart from other requirements management tools. With RequirementCoach™, Enterprise subscribers can access requirements examples, user personas, templates, training, and practice guides, and apply them to their own enterprises. The result is the ability to more quickly define and capture requirements, with fewer missteps, oversights, or project rework needed.

The new changes, which will be live in September 2012, include:

Downloadable PDFs. All the requirements know-how contained in RequirementCoach™ will be accessible through this business analysis software and also in full-color, professionally designed PDF documents. Users will be able to download, share, post, and include the documents in their presentations and materials for education, knowledge transfer, and strategizing.

Requirements “Accelerators.” According to recent surveys, many analysts find it difficult to define the solution scope. The new “Accelerators” provide critical information for analysts to understand the problem domain and prepare well-defined, clearly written scope statements. They also describe the technology, benefits, key stakeholders involved and their basic needs, and typical impact on IT service models so that teams can quickly get approval and get started. The first two accelerators cover Master Data Management and Business Intelligence; additional accelerators are in development.

Collections. Another improvement involves repackaging individual resources into one-stop collections for specific business issues and tasks. Organized by business process, industry, and technology, these collections let subscribers find a wealth of guidance – including sample personas, KPIs, sample requirements, checklists, and accelerators – all in one place, based on their area of need.
