Hello,
Recently I dedicated some on my free time to develop an EA Addin.
It is called
Enhanced Requirement Attributes (ERA) and its goal is to streamline and improve Business Analysis by adding new custom Properties Window for element type of Requirement.
The idea is to enhance default Properties Window with some additional attributes which are used to fully describe Requirement. In an example below you can see this custom properties window with sample Requirement.
Some of the fields are ordinary element's attributes like:
- ID is Alias of element
- Title is Name of element
- Description is Notes of element
- and so on.
While other, additional attributes are technically stored as element's TaggedValues:
- Justification
- FitCriteria
- Source
- Urgency
The selection of those additional attributes was not accidental. Actually this is a mix of attributes, inspired by BABOK and Volere frameworks/methodologies.
The addin is (will be) distributed as
freeware so anyone can benefit from it.
Download:The install file can be found here
http://bit.ly/EA_ERA_Addin - it contains installer and xml template for generating PDF/Word documentation.
The example EA project file can be downloaded here
http://bit.ly/EA_ERA_test_project (it already has template inside)
ActionI'd be very greatful for feedback. So if someone has some 15 minutes to spare or works with requirements in EA and is interested in this particular field, please test it and tell me what you think.
I can't wait to hear your opinion :-)
