The World's Best Tool for Having GOOD REQUIREMENTS

1. What is WholeTEAM?

WholeTEAM™ is an agile requirements definition and management framework (RDMF) that helps mission–critical application teams keep their products always* successful, always meeting business needs well. (*from product inception until product end of life (EOL)) It is a tool for having GOOD REQUIREMENTS. It enables mission–critical application teams to have GOOD REQUIREMENTS.

Your Mission–Critical Applications Always Successful, Always Meeting Business Needs Well!

To keep your mission–critical applications always successful, always meeting business needs well, you need to have GOOD REQUIREMENTS. Without having GOOD REQUIREMENTS you cannot keep your mission–critical applications always successful, always meeting business needs well. WholeTEAM enables you to have GOOD REQUIREMENTS.

2. Problem It Solves

WholeTEAM solves struggling with requirements, it solves not having good requirements.

Struggling with requirements is common in enterprise software development and maintenance (i.e., in DevOps) projects. It is common in information technology (IT) modernization projects.

Struggling with requirements results in mission–critical applications that do not meet business needs well, in wasted time, and in wasted money. It leads organizations to underperform and struggle today in the digital age.

Struggling with requirements can be fatal.

WholeTEAM solves this problem.

3. How It Works

WholeTEAM works by facilitating requirements–related intra–team and inter–team communication. A common root cause of struggling with requirements is poor requirements–related intra–team or inter–team communication. It does that by being a simple requirements language that is common to everyone — to Senior Leaders, Business, PMO, and IT — i.e., to the whole product team. By being one, WholeTEAM facilitates requirements–related intra–team and inter–team communication and enables mission–critical application teams to have GOOD REQUIREMENTS.

4. Key Benefits

  • keep your mission–critical applications always successful, always meeting business needs well

5. WHY WholeTEAM? I.e., How Is WholeTEAM Different?

WholeTEAM is simple, effective, and efficient. That is what is unique about WholeTEAM.

What makes WholeTEAM especially effective is (a) its small set of features, (b) the fact that each one of its features (its concepts) by itself is simple and well–defined, and (c) the high quality of its features' interrelationships—i.e., the high degree of naturalness, concreteness, and coherence of its features' interrelationships.

From what we can tell the first publicly available requirements definition and management framework (RDMF,) and conceivably even the first RDMF — and, with most if not all of its features being quite simple and original — WholeTEAM advances the state of the art in requirements/software development tools.
