Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: BORL) (www.borland.com),
the global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM),
today announced Borland� TeamDefine�, a simulation tool that lets
business analysts easily translate initial software project
concepts into working models through storyboards and interactive
simulations. Team members can then try these simulations to gain
true understanding of the features and functions before any
development begins.
�Users don�t often know what they want until they can see and
touch it. Stakeholders can�t interact with textual documents and
often can�t identify gaps or errors until they engage with working
software in real time. And the user experience � how the end user
will interact with the software � is hard to understand when
looking at requirements in the form of textual documentation.�

Forrester Research, Inc., April 15, 2009)
In minutes, TeamDefine can render an interactive simulation that
�shows� a requirement in a way that Microsoft� Word documents
can�t. This leads to dynamic conversations, valuable feedback and
faster consensus between business and development teams. TeamDefine
simulations help teams rapidly deliver high-quality applications by
reducing rework and eliminating scope creep.
�Numerous studies conducted over the years on software project
waste and failures have traced the roots to requirements,� said
David Wilby, senior vice president of products for Borland. �I say
this makes requirements the greatest opportunity for improvement �
a big fix here will yield exponential returns. We�ve all known this
for a long time, but we continue to use ineffective ways to elicit,
verify and manage requirements. TeamDefine offers a major leap
forward, a way to build customer satisfaction, shortened
time-to-value, and innovation into every project.�
Collaborative Requirements Definition with TeamDefine
As part of Borland�s Requirements Management & Definition
solution, TeamDefine helps customers ensure understanding, gain
consensus and validate requirements before any code is written. In
less time than it takes to write a requirements document, business
analysts can create a working prototype of a concept, feature or
user story. TeamDefine�s interactive simulations drive team and
business collaboration, help executives prioritize their project
portfolios and improve confidence in the business outcomes of
software.
With TeamDefine�s easy-to-use browser-based simulation authoring
environment, any team member can drag-and-drop screen elements and
assemble connections to data and logic. The result is an engaging,
functional simulation of the proposed application. Simulations use
realistic sample data and business logic from the customer�s
organization, so user experiences resemble how the software will
perform in real life.
- Rapidly collaborate and
iterate
Once a simulation has been created, TeamDefine makes it easy for
groups to share and collaborate. Anyone with a Web browser can
experience and comment on simulations from anywhere. This ability
to interact with early requirements (rather than solely reading
about them in a Word document) shortens the feedback cycle and
ensures critical feedback rises above the noise.
- Manage simulations throughout
the lifecycle with an integrated Requirements Definition and
Management solution
TeamDefine is an integrated part of a complete ALM solution.
TeamDefine can manage all of its storyboards and simulations as a
standalone product or optionally with Borland CaliberRM�,
integrating all artifacts so that users can associate requirements
to screens, data fields and process items. This enables customers
to align downstream development artifacts and maintain traceability
between simulations, requirements and related software assets.
CaliberRM can also promote requirements into many of the other
places where downstream team members may interact with them,
including Eclipse�, Visual Studio� Team System, and Borland
StarTeam�. As part of Borland�s Open ALM strategy, Borland plans to
provide integrations between TeamDefine and other leading
Requirements Management solutions in future versions.
TeamDefine and Agile � A Modern Approach to
Requirements
For companies adopting more Agile delivery approaches to
increase responsiveness and improve quality, TeamDefine can help
facilitate requirements collaboration in a rapid, iterative way.
For the past two years, Borland�s own development organization has
been undergoing an Agile transformation. As part of this effort,
Borland has also transformed its processes for gathering and
managing requirements.
�Requirements definition is definitely a team sport here at
Borland,� said Michael Klobe, development director at Borland.
�Everyone � customers, marketing, product management, engineering,
QA � participates, collaborating to share ideas and break down
problems. However, with all these perspectives come opportunities
for misinterpretation and confusion. We use TeamDefine in our
meetings to show a working simulation of the feature or user story
we are discussing. This enables us to quickly get everyone on the
same page, and once we have consensus, our estimations and
prioritizations are much more effective.�
Pricing and Availability
TeamDemand is available immediately. Introductory promotional
pricing starts at $3,000 per user with an unlimited number of free
simulation reviewers.
