River North Requirements Management Accelerator Products


River North has developed a number of products that integrate and accelerate the use and adoption of the IBM DOORS Family and Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) platform tools, and the IBM Publishing (formerly called Rational Publishing Engine, RPE) document publishing tool. Together, the River North accelerators and IBM ELM solutions represent a significant increased capability for supporting the product development lifecycle and the publishing of information from those tools

  • Updates slave requirements automatically
    • When module opens
    • When requirement is designated as 'Allocated'
  • Prompts user to confirm overwriting of existing requirement text when creating Allocated Requirement
  • Prohibits modifying Allocated Requirement (slaves)
  • Allows for manually updating all module Allocated Requirements (slaves)

    Report Generation

    • ExportMeTM

      • Single-click document publishing from DOORS using RPE

    • IndexCreatorTM
