Agile Requirements Management www.agiletool.org Mike Arvela, Matias Muhonen

The gap between RE and agile development
In agile projects requirements change constantly
Overall, agile processes emphasize working software over comprehensive documentation ( Agile Manifesto )
The existing requirements engineering tools focus on the document-oriented way of managing requirements
Thus, a tool for agile requirement engineering is needed

The gap between RE and agile development
Requirement management tends to be challenging in practice
In modern software projects requirements change often and the development team and the customer are not talking the same language
The reality seems to follow the I Know It When I See It (IKIWISI) principle ( Boehm , 2000)
How to keep track of the requirements?
By attaching the requirements directly to the software being developed

What is AgileTool?
A web-based tool for agile requirements management (works on any modern web browser)
You can directly attach the requirements to the software being developed
Developed with Java, Groovy and the Grails framework

AgileTool Features
Add websites in development (support for multiple projects and versions)
Create and modify requirements
Print the requirements as a requirements document

Demonstration
Lets see a live AgileTool demo!
demo.agiletool.org

Future plans
The tool was developed as a student project at the University of Tampere: we still need some polishing
Introducing AgileTool in real-life projects: it may well fit to Ambientia’s agile development process
Possibly open sourcing the product
Further development
