2138  Empowering Agile Development with CaliberRM
Jerry Odenwelder — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
User stories (requirements) fluctuate and evolve more when using an agile process than with traditional processes. In situations where the active customer is not possible, having a framework to manage the stories and promote communications increases the likelihood of success. This session discusses the features needed in such a framework and shows how CaliberRM fulfills this need.
Prerequisites: None.

2152  StarTeam and CaliberRM: Deploying for Linux and Windows  
Leigh Crawford — HBS, an SXC Company

Type: Regular Session. Level: Beginning.
Many development environments are NOT solely based on Windows anymore. More developers are completing their work in Linux. So, how do they work with StarTeam and CaliberRM in this case? What if they are only using the non-graphical Linux? This session addresses deployment of CaliberRM and StarTeam in a Linux environment and will also cover those shops that utilize both Linux and Windows.
Prerequisites: Minimal familiarity with CaliberRM, StarTeam, Linux, and Windows.

3116  Requirements-driven Development and FDD with Delphi and CaliberRM  
Daniel Polistchuck — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
This session covers the basic concepts of requirements management and feature-driven development using Delphi and its CaliberRM integration.

3156  Managing Application Integration Requirements In CaliberRM
Stephen Brown — PROCESS-exchange, Inc.

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
Application integration requirements are often managed in lengthy documents or spreadsheets that are manually created and maintained and thus, are inherently error prone. Message profile specifications may be many hundreds of elements long and require manual inspection to determine where message profile conflicts exist and transformation logic is needed. In this session, learn how to automate and effectively manage detailed message profile integration requirements using CaliberRM in conjunction with capabilities developed using the CaliberRM SDK.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with CaliberRM. Some familiarity with application integration also helpful, but not neccessary.

3158  Search Server and Code Reuse
Jerry Odenwelder — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
Whether looking for information, instruction, or a solution, most developers instinctively consult the Web when faced with a problem or challenge. Often, especially in large organizations, another team has already solved the same or similar problem. Borland Search allows your organization to search inward for a solution before looking outward. Additionally, you can quickly locate information regarding problems and their solutions. With this data you can reduce the time spent researching a problem and promote code re-use within your organization.
Prerequisites: None.

3188  Requirements Elicitation with Business Process Modeling Notation  
Ian Buchanan — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a relatively new graphical notation for capturing business procedures and provides organizations the ability to communicate these procedures in a standard format. Such a standard encourages collaboration, and helps business analysts ask the right questions about internal and B2B business processes and can help insure that they get the right answers. In this session, learn effective, best practice techniques for conducting requirements elicitation with BPMN.
Prerequisites: Experience with requirements management and high-level understanding of business process modeling helpful. CaliberRM knowledge a plus.

3190  Producing Effective Use Cases with CaliberRM  
Matt Klassen — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Intermediate.
Use Cases have become an industry standard method to specify the functional requirements for software systems. That being said, many organizations are not getting the value they could from the Use Case models they are producing. Only 20-30% of the value of Use Cases is realized with the visual model. That means 70-80% of a Use Case model is the textual specification that needs to be specified, validated, and managed through the lifecycle. CaliberRM is an enterprise class requirements management tool that can help your organization get the most out of Use Cases.
Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of use cases.

4116  CaliberRM SDK Development  
Jerry Odenwelder — Borland

Type: Regular Session. Level: Advanced.
The CaliberRM SDK allows you to build custom applications that interact with the CaliberRM system. In this session, we discuss developing Web-based applications using this SDK and look at how to expose some new and existing functionality through Web Services and portals. While the examples are in Java, the techniques can be applied to the Microsoft .NET Framework using the .NET SDK.
Prerequisites: Experience in Java development and understanding of the CaliberRM SDK, Tomcat, and Axis.
