  A few quick Teleogic thoughts

  a reply to Telelogic Focal Point Info

  • Found their breadth welcome.  Managing the upfront PM process is probably as worthwhile to us as the task management.
  • Worried about integration with other systems.
  • Didn't like the UI (popup dialogs?!?)
  • Liked the load-balancing and prioritization features

  Definitely would need to see more before moving forward.

  Strengths / Weaknesses

  a reply to Telelogic Focal Point Info

  Strengths 

  • Good company quals – large, profitable, viable
  • Web-based, can be purchased as SaaS or license
  • Good scalability quals (50,000+ users - Nokia)
  • Great tracking and organization of features
  • Supports traceability between related artifacts (feature to requirement, design spec, etc.)
  • Flexible / dynamic / visual feature scoring – benefits vs. risks
  • Supports what-if release analysis – benefit coverage, cost, scope, capacity, customer request coverage, etc.
  • Supports full life cycle of feature management
  • Flexible grouping of features across many dimensions – release, product, etc. – not hierarchical
  • Multi-user editing of a feature – locks at field level.
  • Good filtering and reporting
  • Open architecture through SOAP services
  • MS Project integration
  • Has workflow, notification, and status tracking – support for SAS 70 audits

  Weaknesses

  • Auditing must be set at attribute level – could be cumbersome to set up
  • Feature data entry may be cumbersome since must be entered individually – although allows upload of data from spreadsheet.
  • No document versioning – weak CMS capabilities
  • No auditing of document changes – SAS 70 auditing deficiency
  • No tagging capabilities – could simulate some of this capability through other mechanisms.
