The major differentiator in inteGREAT™ is its ability to provide a company
with a holistic view of its business requirements. It does this through identifying
and addressing the 10 key dimensions of any project as shown below:
Strategy
Success in today's challenging business environment requires
companies to create a vision of its future direction. The
strategy dimension allows you to envision your projects, goals,
and objectives allowing you to define the “purpose of the
project”. You can also specify success criteria or measurement
criteria for each of your goals and objectives. You can also
outline the risks associated with your goals or objectives.
Requirements
In the Requirements dimension, you can define your functional requirements, and
non-functional requirements and associate constraints, assumptions, and dependencies.
Requirements can be extended to drive use cases, business rules, data and actors.
Requirements can be organized as lists, hierarchies, or networks.
Data
In the data dimension you can define your business object model, tables, and associated
attributes. You can even detail properties for tables and attributes. Data can be
managed and mapped to the user interface, processes, people, and requirements in
general.
Process
The process dimension allows you to define business and software processes, activities,
scenarios and their flow along with outcomes. You can define and customize the User
Interface and navigation
Network Systems
A network dimension refers to a connected group of components that work together
to meet system requirements. Network definition includes hardware, software, operating
environments and servers. Network systems can also exist within other larger networks.
People
In the people dimension you define internal and external Organizations, Actors,
and Audience, linked to the requirements. Here you can relate people to processes,
objectives, scenarios, and data.
Events
In the event dimension, you can define any business milestone, process triggers
and schedules that are associated with the project requirements.
Artifacts
Define documents, forms and reports that are required in your business and how they
fit into the IT solution.
Risk
The Risk dimension, allows you to foresee risks, estimate
their impact in terms of severity and priority, in order to
determine mitigation and identify contingencies. Risks are
derived out of the strategy, data and process dimensions and
are assigned to the people dimension.
Business Rules
Developing a business rules catalog is extremely important
for any business yet is generally done very poorly. Business
rules describe the operations, definitions and constraints
that apply to an organization in achieving its goals. For
example, a business rule might state that no credit check
is to be performed on return customers.
These rules are then used to help the organization to better achieve goals, communicate
among principals and agents, communicate between the organization and interested
third parties, automate operations, perform analysis on current practices, etc.
Rules may also be included in a strategy to show relationships between rules and
other strategic objects.
The above dimensions are developed, managed and analyzed in the easy to use editor
and published on its web portal for convenient collaboration
between project stakeholders.
