Compuware Optimal Trace: Visualizing Business, IT Requirements


Latest release offers project views through storyboards, traceable relationships

By Jeff Feinman
September 6, 2007 — 
Compuware in mid-August announced the general availability of Optimal Trace 5.0 for business requirements and definition management, and part of the company’s Optimal suite of management tools.

The new version works to allow teams to visualize business and IT requirements simultaneously so that the resulting application can meet the needs of both sides, in order to prevent failures that stem from incomplete or poorly defined requirements.

Compuware executives point to reports that say the cause of more than 70 percent of IT project failures result from ineffective requirements. To combat this problem, Compuware uses the concept of structured requirements, which provides project views to the user through storyboards and traceable relationships.

Optimal Trace 5.0 also has an extended custom property definition, so that many levels of requirement building on projects and project templates can be created and supported. The tool also has integration capabilities with Microsoft Word.

“This new version offers complete flexibility to customize requirements structures towards the needs of any type of project,” said Kayla White-Siefker, a Compuware spokesperson. “It also further strengthens Compuware Optimal’s application delivery management solution by offering increased capability to propagate business intent through the life cycle.”
