How Project Information Is Delivered

As DEA worked on projects over the years, we recognized an urgent need for a management solution that would allow us to review, share, collaborate, track and manage project deliverables. In one project, we found ourselves with over 60 reviewers, spread across the eastern United States. Making sure that everyone had the most recent version of the deliverables, that they knew what had been approved and what still needed review, that we captured their comments and change requests, and that we could track what had changed and when, became a logistics nightmare.

Our solution was to design a collaborative deliverables asset management capability, optimized for the web. We call this capability RequirementsLINK™ . Although its name is RequirementsLINK, the tool is configured to support project deliverables of any type: business process models, requirements models (including use cases), data models, and user interface models.

When you use Doreen Evans Associates on your projects, project information will be delivered in RequirementsLINK as part of our standard services. Once the project is complete, you can decide if you want to keep the project assets to jump start future enhancements or simply to have a single reference point for all team members; if so, we can implement RequirementsLINK on your internal web servers.

While RequirementsLINK is a crucial review and change management tool for project deliverables, it doesn’t completely replace the need for deliverables in other forms. You’ll also be able to receive deliverables in a modeling tool repository and as hardcopy documents. We believe that the work we do creates knowledge assets that belong to you, our clients. We make it easy for you to have those deliverables in the forms that make them most useful during the life of a project and after.
