Initial discussions and brainstorming sessions always lead to lists of ideas. The first step in transforming these ideas into software is organizing them. Within AppLife DNA, requirements can be entered and categorized quickly and easily. And once entered, AppLife DNA provides the ability to view and share your requirement information in many different ways. Group, sort, and filter on any requirement attributes, even custom attributes. Share requirements with the highly customizable Requirements Report. Take a snapshot, and then share your changes with a comparison Requirements Report that highlights your changes. AppLife DNA helps you keep up with your ever growing and changing list of goals, features and requirements.

With requirements organized, the next step is to analyze these requirements and capture enough details about them to facilitate review, discussion and validation. AppLife DNA lets you define your requirements in the format and depth that best fits your team. Write Use Cases, User Stories or any style of prose that you prefer. AppLife DNA helps you track which requirements you've defined, generates supporting content based on links between your content and individual requirements, and most importantly, helps you communicate change as your requirements definitions are improved based on iterative team reviews and feedback. With AppLife DNA, your analysis work is focused where it should be, directly on your identified requirements.

At any time during your requirements analysis, you can share your work by generating requirements documents or requirements reports. Documents can be shared in MS Word, Adobe pdf, Rich Text, or HTML format.

Snapshots and comparison documents make it very easy to identify and communicate iterative changes in your requirements analysis work. Create a snapshot any time you want to be able to compare the current state with future work, such as when distributing documents to stakeholders for review. AppLife DNA comparison documents are designed for readability while highlighting changes, making it easy for stakeholders to quickly review and comprehend your iterative changes.

With AppLife DNA, iterative requirements analyze and stakeholder reviews are accomplished much more quickly and efficiently, leading to better team understanding, communications and consensus. The AppLife DNA process leads to less rework, less scope creep, better software, and happier software users.
