Poor traceability and lack of collaboration across the product lifecycle leads to data silos creating communication barriers between the development and product management teams. Collaborating effectively with the requirements, priorities, and status updates across multiple ALM tools is key to maintaining the quality and velocity of releases in today’s agile environment. Integrating TeamForge, an ALM tool and IBM DOORS, the leading requirements management tool using ALM Connect, enables complete traceability and visibility across the development lifecycle. This, in turn, helps developers and product managers access the recent-most updates and data in real-time with full context in their preferred system. The automated, bi-directional integration led by ALM Connect for TeamForge and IBM DOORS (Both DOORS and DOORS Next Generation) allows developers and product managers to capture, trace, analyze, and manage changes to customers’ requirements in their preferred applications. All the requirements from IBM DOORS synchronize to TeamForge, and the development progress syncs back to IBM DOORS from TeamForge. The historical and current data is also available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time.
