Enrich Requirements with Detailed Specifications

Decompose Requirements into use cases. Define user-defined artifacts and attributes to track and manage various type of requirements as per the business needs. Generate specification document adhering to different standards using the Kovair Word add-in component for MS Word.

Requirements with Detailed Specifications

Organize Requirements in Folders and Sub Folders

Kovair supports hierarchical folder structure consisting of various folders and sub folders that can be created for grouping requirements and arranging those in an organized format. Along with this, Kovair aims to make data management and tracking more advanced as well as user-specific.

Organize Requirements in Folders and Sub Folders

Maintain Version and Change history for audits

Versioning of Requirements

Kovair treats versioning of requirements at a much granular level. Users can opt for versioning whenever a requirement is modified, or it can be done based on user judgement. Kovair allows side-by-side comparison between the two versions of requirements, as well as rollback to a previous version, as and when needed. Requirements can be reconstructed from the previous version as well.

Track Changes Made in Requirements Via Change History

Maintain change history of different attributes of requirements and get answers to audit related queries for a change like the name of the reviewer, detail list of the changes that have been made, and the date on which the changes have been made.

Requirements Via Change History

Achieve Real-Time Collaboration with Different Stakeholders

As project goals and deliverables are shared by diversified teams, ensuring proper collaboration among all is a must for managing Requirements, either locally or globally. Kovair effectively addresses the above and provides a unified platform where globally distributed teams can collaborate to work on requirements in real-time across disparate multi-vendor tools.

    Benefits to be listed as follows:

  • Avail precise tools for efficient management of requirements
  • Empower stakeholders with insights into the delivery progress.
  • Embrace collaboration among cross-functional team members.

Review Requirements in a Collaborative Manner

Invite all stakeholders to review, discuss, and decide on the requirements and refine the list of requirements to work upon. Initiate and participate in ad hoc discussion threads and accelerate the decision-making cycle to a faster pace. Subscribe to get notified on any change in requirements based on feedbacks received. Share contextual information about software specs.

Ensure Compliance through End-to-End Traceability

Stakeholders working on requirements need to manage the changes occurring in various phases of the development lifecycle in order to ensure both impact analysis and quality improvement. They always track information at a granular level and quickly assess the direct and propagating impacts, whenever a new version of a requirement is created or any request for change or enhancement have been raised and linked to one or multiple requirements.

  • View Relation diagrams and relation matrix to ensure every requirement, system and components specifications have been covered and tested.
  • Define relationships between requirements and other lifecycle data.
  • Configure and customize your traceability diagrams.
  • Create, maintain, relate, validate and verify product specifications in a single place.

Manage Requirements with Ease

Users who have been managing their requirements in standalone word documents or excel spreadsheets can now take the advantage of tracking and managing their requirements from a secure, central, and accessible location. Teams working from different geographical locations as well as cross functional teams can now work on a single source of truth and no productivity is lost in working on incorrect information or waiting for unavailable piece of data.
