The output of each service is recommended incremental steps you can take that will work along side of your current practices. We want to ensure that you will not have a process breakdown and loose the success you have had so far if you decide to add new skills or processes.
Evaluate Your Current Practices
The evaluation service gives you an objective description of the maturity level of your current practices. The scope of the evaluation is customized to meet your goals. We can evaluate a specific area, e.g., business requirements or software testing. Likewise, we can evaluate your entire set of practices from business processes and software requirements, to internal or outsourced development, and software testing/deployment.
Train Your Resources on the Methodology
We train your people in the Building Requirements Consensus™ Methodology so they can start thinking about the problem space and discovering and defining the requirements in a more unified way based on solid principles. These internally consistent principles are based on and consistent with industry wide open standards.Your people will be able to begin applying this methodology in their current projects. New projects will start from the very beginning on a more solid conceptual footing that will result in better customer satisfaction.
Mentor Analysts Over Time
Once your people are trained, we can visit in person or online to help them improve in their skills. We want to ensure that they do not get offtrack and miss a portion of the benefits of the Building Requirements Consensus™ Approach. Our goal is to enable your people to function independently as soon as possible while giving them the support hey need to excel.
Augment a Critical Project
Cook Enterprise Corporation can augment your project with people skilled in the
Building Requirements Consensus™ Methodology
or
Building Requirements Consensus™ Approach.
You will get benefit from using the methodology only. You will also get benefit from using the tool only. The approach is the methodology along with Blueprint's Requirements Center analysis tool.
Present Blueprint's Requirements Center Analysis Tool
Blueprint is a
Gartner Cool Vendor of the Year 2008. (Opens in new window)
Its Requirements Center analyst tool provides many benefits. Two very powerful features are:
- its ability to simulate requirements making them accessible to all participants and building clarity and consensus before starting to implement them
- its ability to automatically generate test scenarios at the push of a button once you have reached consensus and clarity on the requirements. You can use Requirements Center with or without the Building Requirements Consensus™ Methodology. However, the combination of Requirements Center and the Building Requirements Consensus™ Methodology is the best of breed in discovering, documenting, validating and testing for both business processes and software requirements.
Cook Enterprise Corporation is a
Blueprint Business Partner.
Document Legacy Systems
You can use Requirements Center to document legacy systems that lack sufficient accurate documentation. The idea is to simulate how users current do work with the system. Then you have easily accessible documentation of those functions of the system. You can then automatically generate test scenarios for those systems. This method will only document functionality currently in use. However, that is far better than what you have today. This documentation may allow your people to make educated guesses about other unused functionality.
