DevSpec is an integrated requirements management solution that is specifically designed to provide visibility, traceability and validation of your product or project requirements. DevSpec provides a framework to create new requirements, specifications and features that can be linked to development and testing implementation projects.
DevSpec's knowledge-centric approach to requirements management ensures that teams have access to the documents and other digital assets needed to design and implement you project.
DevSpec provides you with the tools needed to effectively define and manage your requirements to help ensure that your project meets your customer's needs and can be delivered on time and budget.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Full requirements management: DevSpec allows for complete modeling of knowledge, requirements, and specifications. The tool gives users a powerful view into each product release, with traceability for every element of data that it collects.
Fully configurable: DevSpec features a fully-customizable user interface. Administrators can customize different projects to track as many requirement and specification attributes as needed by their process. A workflow can be built around the gathering of all these attributes.
DevSpec also contains complete integrated with development tracking and QA testing. Users can see all the development work items and QA test plans that serve as the implementation effort for every specification (and its linked requirements.)
Voting and Options give product teams a voice. DevSpec users can be allocated a number of points to vote on a certain feature or requirement. These votes can be used to form a feature set as well as provide revenue and cost estimates. This functionality allows teams to provide feedback on the development roadmap.
Integration with Word and Office presents new ways to harvest and collect requirements and customer requests. Through this integration, sets of knowledge, specifications, or requirements can easily be imported into the tool. Items can be published into the system from a word document. Future changes to the document can be synchronized into the system as well.
BENEFITS TO THE USER
Built-in reporting enables DevSpec users to gather important metrics. These metrics display traceability, effort estimations, developer voting and customer feedback. They can be used to identify trends, highlight risks, and make better informed decisions.
Support for best practices: Through its highly customizable process controls, DevSpec can support any methodology. From Scrum to Waterfall and everything in between, the tool can adapt to the way customers do business, plan releases, and develop software.
Through its Time & Cost estimates and Voting & Options features, DevSpec allows teams to measure their product designs in familiar terms. The software provides both qualitative and quantitative metrics.
Manage and Highlight Innovation: Using DevSpec, companies can standardize their design practices. A fully integrated knowledge base enabled every employee to easily and securely suggest ideas and submit requirements. Customers can search for this knowledge and as a result are provided with self service capabilities.
DevSpec also features change control around requirements and specifications. Changing an item may not be allows or may require an approval process based on implementation work that is occurring. These change request workflows can facilitate change management best practices. As requirements and specifications change, developers and testers can be flagged and made aware. This flagging minimizes the impact of changes, and mitigates risks.
