  • Micro Focus Dimensions RM is an end-to-end cross-platform and highly scalable solution for distributed development.
  • Micro Focus Dimensions RM is a customer relationship management software that has a role-based dashboard, which provides insights to the users about their status and progress reports.
  • Requirements Management (RM) is a very complex task and it can be easily managed by Micro Focus Dimensions RM.
  • it is a centralized software so the issue is only one user can have access to software at a given point of time
  • some times check-in and check out takes time
  • its little difficult for newbies to understand and work with
from my point of view its usually suited for a project with 20 to 50 members in it. have more than that may cause issue. because of sharing will be difficult among more people
  • project document management
  • requirement management
  • databases management
  • management of requirement is much easier
  • centralized access to all the document
  • better user friendly experience
Micro Focus Dimensions RM make management of all the important requirement and databases easy to use and user friendly. great application for project management and team management.

Serena RM is used for managing requirements. It allows centralized management and visibility of requirements across IT and the business, allowing users to track what stage of the SDLC process a requirement is in for a project. It allows linking layered or complementary requirements, such as from different stake holders, or a different tier of the project.

It provides easy baselining at each stage of a project, making it simple to see what the full set of requirements were at any given time. You can view current or past baselines. It provides relationships and links to related artifacts such as test plans and project documents, making it simple to see snapshots of the project over time. If used with Serena CM, then its power is quite remarkable, provides full traceability to the very code objects that implement each requirement.
  • Traceability - will allow you to see end to end how requirements are related to each other, to project artifacts, how the requirement was tested, and the implementation code (when using with Serena CM).
  • Baselines - these are snapshots in time which are typically used at project phases and milestones. They allow you to see all aspects of a project from requirements to testing and how it has progressed or changed over time.
  • Test Management - test steps, execution, defect management are all included in RM, providing a powerful SDLC management platform.
  • The very complexity of the product, which makes it powerful and flexible, provides easy opportunities to misuse it and make a mess of things. Its very important to set up roles, life-cycle workflows, and methodologies very thoughtfully during implementation, otherwise it can easily become ineffective and even burdensome to the process.
Serena RM is well suited for mid to large size companies, with mature processes in place, that want to standardize project methodologies across the IT department, and want to give users a collaborative role in the requirements and testing process. It is especially powerful when used with Serena CM, integrating change management and the code repository with the full project life cycle. It is not as well suited for smaller organizations, or organizations that do not have mature processes in place (unless they are using RM as the tool to strengthen processes). RM would be burdensome and restrictive in that scenario. Serena products are well suited for environments that are under heavy regulatory restrictions due to the roles based workflow and traceability that can be put in place.
  • RM has not been fully implemented by my organization, it has primarily been used in evaluation and pilot programs.
