IBM DOORS QuickStart

Installation, training and a project architecture for your first IBM DOORS team, in five days.

Overview

A DOORS project set up right from the start

IBM Rational DOORS QuickStart helps you install the DOORS family of requirements definition and management software quickly and properly, and set up your project for its best possible start.

Besides the installation and training, the QuickStart includes a Project Architecture Workshop. Together we define how your data, attributes, links, access rights and baselines are organized, and then build that structure in DOORS.

You get an architecture that is ready for immediate use, with documented procedures, and a model and template you can reuse in future projects across your organization.

Up to 10 peopleServer and clientArchitecture workshopReusable template

Our part

We install DOORS, train your team, run the Project Architecture Workshop and build the agreed structure with you: folders, modules, attributes, link schema, baselines and a project template.

Your starting point

Where is your DOORS project today?

Most teams call us at one of these points. Each one ends with a DOORS project your team can run.

Licenses bought, nothing installed
Server and clients not installedServer and client installed

No structure, no traceabilityModules, attributes and links defined
A database without a plan
Every project set up differentlyOne project template to reuse

FAQ

Questions we hear before a DOORS QuickStart

How large a team does the QuickStart cover?

Typically up to 10 people. All team members should be available during the five days. We run it on-site or remotely.

What is the Project Architecture Workshop?

A workshop where we capture your goals, review the process to support and define data, attributes, folders, access rights, CM and baseline strategy, views and reports. On day five we build it in DOORS.

Do you connect DOORS to our LDAP?

The QuickStart uses the built-in DOORS security and authentication. External directory services, special network authentication and encryption are outside its scope.

What is not included?

Integrations with other products, DOORS Web Access, DXL scripting or DXL training, and Rational Publishing Engine reports. We can quote them separately.

We need DXL customizations. Can you help?

We identify the DXL customizations you need during the QuickStart. Building them is a separate engagement; see Extending IBM Engineering with Widgets and OSLC.

Should we start with DOORS or DOORS Next?

It depends on your projects and your plans for the platform. We can talk it through before you choose; DOORS Next has its own QuickStart.
