Overall Satisfaction with Oracle SCM Cloud
SCM cloud is being deployed within a one specific organization to manage and track requirements. This allows end to end traceability of user requirements, business needs, and system requirements. The plan is to begin with discrete product development to a particular business group and roll it out to other business units as needed.
- End to End processes across each of the particular tracks (we focused on idea to commercialization)
- Easy to navigate user interface and common user interface as we expand into more modules
- Logical way to extend attribution and data model
- Update/Patching process window of only two weeks between test and production is very short
- Oracle Cloud support was very immature and resources were lacking compared to on premise support
- Several features and functions did not work as advertised. Several workarounds had to be added in which delayed project work
- There is a large reduction in man hours spent attempting to manually create the traceability matrix
- There is a strong involvement of different BUs and collaboration on the requirements creation process
- The time to develop and approve requirements has been shortened
JIRA was used by the software development team, while it made sense for agile product development, it seemed overly complicated for product development.
