Visualize requirements so everyone "gets the picture".

Blueprint provides a broad range of rich, visual requirements editors so there’s a format that’s perfectly suited to each requirement. Ambiguity is removed making requirements more engaging and easier to understand. Requirements are integrated promoting consistency and ensuring that nothing is missed. Requirements and their properties are listed together in a spreadsheet-style editor where users quickly and easily make edits. Shared custom views keep everyone focused on what’s important. Traceability, comments, and file attachments are supported for all artifacts, even diagrams, and to a very detailed level - steps in use cases and screen controls in user interface mockups. In addition custom requirements artifacts and properties can be created, enabling Blueprint to support your process.

Business Process DiagramsBlueprint lets users create comprehensive business process diagrams using BPMN notation. With a single editor, Blueprint lets those wanting simpler diagrams to quickly sketch their processes using a smaller palette of basic process shapes, while letting those who need the full power of BPMN have easy access to the complete set of symbols. This allows users to leverage more advanced features when needed, without having to change editors.

Collaborate with stakeholders and the team.

Collaborate with stakeholders and the team.

Blueprint users stay in tune with what’s happening across multiple projects through their personal Activity Center and interact through Blueprint’s many social features. These features are pervasive throughout the product helping to draw people into the conversation and encourage interaction. Visual requirements formats and rich simulation removes ambiguity and makes complex requirements easier to understand, helping facilitate collaboration. Instead of getting vital stakeholder feedback later in the lifecycle, Blueprint provides the features needed to engage stakeholders early and often during the project.

Blueprint

Social DiscussionsBlueprint allows users to engage in conversations about individual requirements artifacts. Users can add comments to these discussions, can “like” or “dislike” the comments of others, and can draw others into the conversation simply by “mentioning” them. Customizable comment states and a filterable view of all project discussions make them easy to manage.

Manage requirements efficiently and effectively.

Manage requirements efficiently and effectively.

Blueprint provides efficient and effective management of requirements, people, and projects. Each and every requirement is versioned automatically by Blueprint and a complete history of changes is kept. Baselines of all or any subset of the requirements provide the foundation to reliably manage requirements changes. Traceability that’s fast to create, visible while working, and easy to analyze helps assess impact, confirm coverage, and manage scope. Flexible and powerful requirements reuse saves time and promotes consistency while modern administrative features and seamless integration with enterprise directories makes onboarding new users and maintaining projects simple.

Blueprint

Leveraging TraceabilityIn Blueprint icons indicate when an artifact has traces to provide context and keep these relationships top-of-mind. Trace relationships appear during simulations and in reviews leading to related requirements information. A Traceability Explorer with sophisticated filters lets users analyze trace relationships in depth. Finally, trace relationships can be output as navigable links in generated documents, are output along with requirements to Excel, and output along with requirements and tests to HP ALM. Blueprints powerful features for leveraging traceability allows users to easily assess coverage, change impact, and manage scope.

Detailed Version ControlIn Blueprint versions are automatically maintained for every requirements artifact (text requirements, business processes, use cases, user interface mockups, etc.). At any time users can access the entire version history for any requirement artifact and see an instant summary of version differences. Any prior requirements version can be opened to see how the artifact appeared at a historical point in time. Blueprint versioning is highly reliable and scalable, and provides the detailed information necessary to effectively and confidently manage change.

Requirements BaselinesBlueprint baselines provide points of stability while requirements are changing. In Blueprint baselines may reflect significant milestones like a product release, the end of a development sprint, or perhaps something that’s meaningful only to a small group or an individual. They record the state of an entire project, or any subset of artifacts you choose. You can even go ‘back in time’ and create a baseline at some prior point in time. Blueprint baselines help keep changes manageable while you progress toward your goal.
