DOORS Next QuickStart

Installation, configuration and training for your first DOORS Next team, in five days.

Overview

Your first DOORS Next team, working in five days

A pre-defined service for the rapid adoption of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next by an initial team of up to 10 users, based on the out-of-the-box configuration.

DOORS Next gives analysts a shared place to define requirements together: rich text documents, use cases, storyboards, business process diagrams (BPMN) and glossaries. Built-in discussions and reviews help you agree with stakeholders that the right requirements are captured.

An experienced consultant installs and configures DOORS Next with you and trains your team. You shorten the time to self-sufficiency and avoid the common pitfalls of a first installation.

Our part

We plan the installation with you, install and configure DOORS Next, document the result and train your first team on your own server. After five days your analysts work in DOORS Next and your administrators know how it is set up.

Your starting point

Where is your DOORS Next adoption today?

Most teams call us at one of these points. Each one ends with DOORS Next in daily use.

FAQ

Questions we hear before a DOORS Next QuickStart

How many users does the QuickStart cover?

An initial team of up to 10 users, working with the out-of-the-box configuration of DOORS Next. Larger teams and custom configurations are a separate engagement. We run it on-site or remotely.

What do we need to prepare?

A Windows or Linux server, a DB2 or Oracle database, the completed prerequisite checklist we send before day one, and access to your system and database administrators.

What exactly gets installed?

IBM Jazz Team Server, DOORS Next, Workflow Management, Report Builder and Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE), on a single server.

What is not included?

Integrations with other IBM or third-party products, platforms other than Windows or Linux, custom report templates and other applications. We can quote them separately.

We use IBM DOORS 9. Is this the right start?

The QuickStart starts a new DOORS Next installation. Moving data from DOORS 9 is a separate project; see IBM Engineering / Jazz Deployment.

What happens after the five days?

Your team works on its own. If you need more, we offer platform maintenance, further training and process consulting.
