CaliberRM

Enterprise software requirements management

CaliberRM® is a requirements management tool that ensures that applications meet end user needs. Using CaliberRM, analysts, developers, testers and other stakeholders accurately capture and communicate the user’s requirements throughout the application lifecycle.

CaliberRM provides powerful requirements management facilities for collaboration, impact analysis and communication of requirements, enabling software teams to deliver on key project milestones with greater accuracy and predictability.

Reduce post delivery rework by up to 40%

Industry analysis suggests that at least half of all defects arise from incomplete or incorrect requirements. More than 80% of the effort to fix defects is spent fixing requirement-related defects.  CaliberRM reduces this overhead by providing secure centralized storage of all requirements and related artifacts. It helps enforce high quality requirements through rigorous end-to-end traceability, ensuring that all requirements are delivered.

Increase development productivity by 20% or more

A complete and unambiguous understanding of what is required ensures that precious developer time is spent building the right thing.

CaliberRM helps build higher quality requirements and promotes collaboration between stakeholders to make sure that the right thing is built first time. When changes occur, robust change management capabilities ensure that changes are executed and managed throughout the lifecycle, and provide a complete audit trail for reporting and visibility.
