“Delphi uses IBM Rational DOORS to meet customer
requirements faster, more accurately and with less cost”
Goal: Cost savings through component reuse
among global development teams.
Method: Automate requirements management
Decision: One year parallel project with DOORS
and another RM tool. Selected DOORS.
Enablers: Training, implementation and on-site
mentoring services by Telelogic
Benefits: “Telelogic DOORS
Improved team communications improves development
Better able to catch “orphan requirements” and team communication,
other problems earlier in the development lifecycle which helps us meet
customer requirements
Outcomes: faster and more
Reduction in costly rework accurately.”
Better quality (meeting customer requirements) Lillian Kelly,
Faster time-to-market Senior Systems Engineer,
Costs managed more accurately. Delphi

We’ve been hearing common themes
General challenges
Need tight coupling between requirements
specification, systems engineering, and
development / test
Need to bring a wider team through a high-
productivity RM-driven process
Expressed in specific RFEs
Versioning, workflow, product line engineering,
cross-lifecycle reporting, …

Help you use requirements as a
language of continuous stakeholder
and business interaction
Protect customer investment in
RequisitePro and DOORS
Deliver value incrementally,
especially the “hard” items
Enable new value adoption at your
own speed – evolution not revolution
