Find more information at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to talk about cloning baselines. Let's first go to the project "Bay St" for the personal customer project and expand the project to see all its data. Currently, we have the first requirement "What's covered by the Tariff," traced down to "Eligibility for Premier Banking," which is also traced further down to "Premier Current Account," which is inside "Borrowing from Us." The Premier Current Account also has a parent link to a Parking Lot item, which is "Bas Mortgage Arrangement Fees." This is something Bas is looking into, b...

Get more information at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to talk about including and excluding requirements within the baseline. To learn more about baselining, please look at the Baseline Introduction video. Let's go to Projects, and there we will connect to our sample project, "Bay St for Personal Customers." This project has a well-structured set of requirements. A baseline is nothing but a snapshot of our data. Before we take the snapshot of this project, let's have a quick look at the first requirement here, "What's covered by the Tariff," which has a traceability to "Eligibility for Premier Banking."...

Get it from https://github.com/openrose . Today, we are going to talk about baselines and the concepts of baselining. Instead of doing a detailed product demo, we will discuss the theoretical aspects of baselining. I'm going to switch over to Paintbrush—not the best tool for designing, but I like using it for discussion and presentation purposes. Let's consider that a user has a project, represented by this box. In this project, they have defined several requirements, drawn as lines. These requirements can be nested in a hierarchy or have a flat structure with detailed information defined hierarchically. These requirements are captured as part of the breakdown s...

You can find it at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to talk about moving item types. Let me go into the project list and open the first project. This is a sample project that I have created based on a document published by Barclays Bank regarding tariffs for personal customers. Here is the link to that document. I have tried converting part of that document into the structure in this project where we have around five item types. Let me talk about the "About Our Tariff" item type. When I expand that, we can see requirements or items sitting under that item type. Looking at the first requirement, we can see it has the name, status, priority, severity, a...

You can find more information about it at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to look into moving items or moving requirements. Let me start by going to the project list and showing you an example project, which is "Barclay's Tariff of Personal Customer." Barclays Bank has released a public document explaining tariffs for personal customers, and I have used that document to convert it into a requirement structure here as an example. Let me show you that we have several requirements captured in a nice structured way. If I want to move one of those requirements, such as "What's Covered by Tariff," I can take the source requirement's ID, open the...

You can find more information at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to talk about the requirement description field, which is a markdown field. Let me go to a project in Treeview, expand all the data, and here is one of the requirements under a requirement type or an item type that has a table format. When you provide headings in the first row and a separator in the second row with further rows as the table data, this is a markdown format, and this format is converted into a table form. Markdown also allows users to capture different formatting within the description box. When you click on the question mark here, which is...

You can find more information about OpenRose at https://github.com/openrose . Today we are going to talk about the Parking Lot. The Parking Lot is a concept that allows users to park their requirements in a separate area within the project. To see this in action, let's go into the project list. I'm going to use this demo project called "Bay's Tariff for Personal Customer." When I open this particular project in the Treeview, we can see that we have this Parking Lot as an item type. The Parking Lot is always there in every project; it is a system item type. To demonstrate that, let me create a new project called "Dummy Project" wi...

What is Requirement? OpenRose - Requirements Management An Open Source and FREE Requirements Management Application / Tool Direct Link to YouTube Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qQzKbfvRPA Video Transcript :   Hi, welcome to OpenRose, an open-source and free requirements management application. Please visit https://github.com/openrose for more information. Let's go to the project dashboard, and this time, let's open a deep hierarchical level project. This is just a demo project, so when I open that project in the TreeView and start expanding the project, I can see some sample item types along with a Parking Lot, which is the system item type. Inside item type one, I have a top-level item, then item one and item two, which are broken down into further items. You can see I've given the names which indicate a kind of logical hierarchical structure in the name. Here, you can see L1, L2, L3, L4—that's the level. The project is considered as level one, and item ...

OpenRose is a requirements management application, which is freely available and published on GitHub. Simply go to github.com/openrose to find more. Today, we will discuss the Details View. When you go into the Projects section where you can see your list of projects, there are two main views: the Tree View and the Details View. When I click on Details View, I enter the project one level at a time, or I exit the project one level at a time. Inside the project, we know that there are item types. In this particular view, we can see that I have a parking lot, which is a system item type, and four other item types that I have created. This is a public document published by Barkley's Bank, which I have tried converting into some sort of specification or requirem...

When a project is created,...

Introduction to OpenRose - Requirements Management

Watch it on YouTube at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0x3ZaHg8sA OpenRose - Requirements Management Application VIDEO TRANSCRIPT Hello, and thanks for joining in for the launch of OpenRose, an open-source requirements management application. The main purpose is to help users and teams "do it right" and ultimately reduce waste. OpenRose is released on GitHub at [github.com/OpenRose](https://github.com/OpenRose). Users can look at the source code and documentation at the same location. Let me do a quick demo of the application. In this environment, I'm using Windows 11 on a desktop computer, not a server. I have installed IIS and deployed a web deployment package over IIS. When you connect to OpenRose, on the homepage, you will see a welcome message like this: "Welcome to OpenRose." One would start by creating a new project. For this demo, I've created two separate projects. The first project is a small example of how I converted a document published b...
