- Viewing and working with requirements and related information within a global configuration context
- Capturing, defining, elaborating and editing requirements
- Creating and managing traceability relationships between requirements and the rest of the project information
- Managing requirements throughout the project lifecycle

Training with SIXE, IBM Business Partner
- Labs on a real DOORS database: requirements get imported, traceability links created, and deliberately broken to see what happens.
- Taught directly by IBM Champion instructors from the SIXE team.
- Credly badges available: credly.com/organizations/sixe/badges
- Flexible format — online, classroom or onsite — in closed groups, priced per attendee, in the language of your choice (ES / EN / FR).

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as DOORS Next Generation?
Yes. IBM called it Rational DOORS Next Generation, then DOORS Next, and today it is listed as IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next. Same product, and this is its course.
How does it differ from classic DOORS?
Classic DOORS (9.x, covered in QN101G) is a desktop application with its own database. DOORS Next is web based, lives inside the Jazz platform and works with global configurations. Migrating between them is not an export and an import: links have to be rebuilt and decisions taken about what is kept, so it is worth seeing both before committing to a date.
Does it cover the traceability matrix?
Yes: creating and managing traceability relationships is one of the blocks, and that is what holds up a requirements traceability matrix when you have to show one.
Can you deliver it at our premises?
Yes, and remotely with a live instructor too. Closed groups of four to ten people, in Spanish, English or French.
