  Welcome to OpenRose —a free and open-source requirements management tool available at github.com/openrose   In this blog, we’ll explore how OpenRose’s latest feature empowers users to collaborate with AI platforms like ChatGPT, especially when managing complex projects such as a Charity Fundraising initiative. Why Context Matters in AI Collaboration When working with AI—whether it's ChatGPT or any other platform—setting the right context is crucial. This process is known as context engineering or context provisioning , and it’s closely related to what many refer to as prompt engineering . Rather than overwhelming the AI with excessive or irrelevant data, context engineering ensures the AI receives just the right amount of information—no more, no less. This allows the AI to generate more accurate, relevant, and actionable responses. As AI systems evolve from simple prompt-based tools into sophisticated autonomous agents, context engineering becomes essential. It helps r...

Most teams treat requirements as a one-time task: gather them at the beginning, write them down in a document, and move on to design and development. But in reality, requirements evolve—and if your process doesn’t evolve with them, your product risks becoming unstable, unmaintainable, and misaligned with user needs. Here’s why requirements management—not just requirements capture—is essential. 1. Requirements Are Living Knowledge, Not Static Checklists During development, teams often discover better ways to implement a feature: A developer finds a more efficient algorithm A UX designer improves the user flow An architect refactors the system for scalability These changes modify the original requirement—sometimes subtly, sometimes significantly. If these changes aren’t reflected in the requirements system: Test cases become outdated Maintenance teams lose context Future upgrades risk breaking functionality Requirements must be updated to reflect reality, not just in...

Welcome back to another hands-on demo of OpenRose, a FREE and Open-Source requirements management application that’s helping teams structure, trace, and manage their requirements with precision and flexibility. In this article, we’ll explore one of OpenRose’s most powerful features: importing baseline data . Using a real-world example from a Charity Fundraising project, we’ll walk through how to export and import baseline records, item types, and individual requirements—while preserving hierarchy, traceability, and scope control. Understanding Baselines in OpenRose Baselines in OpenRose are snapshots of your requirements at a specific point in time. They’re immutable by design, except for the ability to include or exclude specific requirements from the baseline scope. When exporting baseline data, you’re not simply backing up a frozen view—you’re preparing it for re-import into a live project , where it can be reused, reorganized, or archived. Depending on what you export, OpenR...

Introduction Hello. Today is an exciting day because we now have an import capability to bring requirements data into OpenRose. This is an important addition, as users can now collaborate more effectively by working offline in their own environments, then exporting the required data — including traceability — and sending it to someone else to review, provide feedback on, or incorporate into a centralized repository. Once imported into the repository, the data can be managed further from that point onwards. About the Feature This feature was requested by OpenRose users and is documented on the project’s wiki. If you visit the repository at http://github.com/openrose , you will find the common area where users can download the application or view the source code, along with documentation. In the OpenRose wiki, we have outlined the concept of importing data into OpenRose. The purpose of allowing users to import data is to enable them to restore requirements data that was previousl...
