• Customer Reference: Rail Projects Victoria
• Other Cases (e.g. Transport NSW, High Speed Rail, …)
• IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next Gen
• IBM Engineering Requirements Quality Assistant
• Next Steps

4
Why is Requirements Management Important
• How the Client (e.g. RPV) sees a requirement is
often very different to how the Sub Contractors
will see the same requirement.
• Do they use Word / PDF and Excel to transfer
requirements to Sub Contractors
• What is really needed? Can you be confident
the end user explained it in simple words?
• What language and tools are used to
describe a requirement?
⁃ E.g. MUST, SHOULD, COULD?
• What reports are needed to stay on track

5
Requirements are the starting point to everything
q Project scoping
q Cost estimation
q Scheduling
q Developing
q Testing
q Release and Production Management
Mind the Gap: New
French Trains Too Wide
for Many Platforms
PARIS—France's state-run railway system on
Wednesday admitted failing to mind the gap, after
realizing that a fleet of new trains it has ordered are
too wide to fit many of the country's stations. It will
cost about €50 million ($68.5 million) to alter the
platforms to fit the new trains by 2016, when they are
delivered, SNCF and RFF said.

Typical Project Lifecyle – Systems Engineering V Model
Representation Conventional methods of data
collection and dissemination
make ”Verification & Validation”
• extremely time & resource
consuming,
• error prone
• & primary source of
disconnects and delays
“In the railway industry
traceability is very important as a
way to demonstrate the quality of
design and safety of the product.

RPV Journey
Ø Metro Tunnel Project (MTP)
Ø The decision to use an IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management on Cloud solution:
• Technical Advisor
• Need for a Collaborative Environment, multiple parties, single source
Ø Evolution and Growth:
• One Project, one RM project area, one user (MTP Development phase)
• One Project, multiple RM project areas, multiple users (MTP Delivery phase)
• Multiple Projects, multiple RM and CCM project areas, multiple users
Ø Lesson:
• DNG Freedom versus Standarisation and Control

20
Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project Objectives
• Business & Project Plans commence with defining “Requirements”
• Captured from different stakeholders & sources (avoid Siloes and increase collaboration)
• Drilled down into ”executable” levels of details
• Produces an integrated safety assessment
• Structured repository for Risk Registers, Interface Registers and Hazard Logs
• Consistent RM framework in-line with state rail quality expectations
• Shared among stakeholders for discussion & concurrence
• Referenced during project execution phase for compliance
• Change impact analysis
• Fair Tender exercise
• Requirements data/information thus needs to be :
• maintained as a “single version of truth”
• allow for easy real time collaboration – both within the enterprise & to external stakeholders
• provide for full hierarchy, traceability & auditability - Management of Risk Registers
• adequate security for access & distribution
• Identification & management of complex integration interfaces
• provide an ability to derive intelligence and reports for improved risk and compliance management

Transport NSW

26
Transport for New South Wales

27
Transport for New South Wales
• Transport NSW was looking for the right solution to manage the integration of the
Digital Systems Program on the Sydney Trains Network. The right solution would have
to comply with several requirements, ranging from supporting a collaborative
approach to System Engineering, offering the possibility to engage different
companies on the same cloud instance, and being accessible from anywhere in the
world. Also, they were looking for a user friendly solution.
• The Digital Systems Program consists of three main elements:
• Replacing trackside signalling equipment with the latest ETCS Level 2 technology;
• Implementing Automatic Train Operation (ATO), which will be used to assist drivers
–who will still remain in control –and provide faster and more consistent journey
times; and
• Introducing a Traffic Management System (TMS) for more effective incident
management and service regulation across the network.

Key requirements for a Requirements Management system
Attributes to support and control process
• Requirements documents alone are not enough
• Documents may not be enough but spreadsheets lose clarity over a specification and
consistency with the original request
• Requirements documents need to be ‘annotated’ with additional information
⁃ and displayed as a traditional document
– Make use of intelligent ‘workflow’ attributes to
follow a requirement through it’s life
• (creation, realization, retirement)

41
Key requirements for a Requirements Management system
Cognitive requirements and tools
• Engineering data is getting huge
• Requirements alone are being counted in their
millions over multiple levels of decomposition
(3 is typical but we have seen 7 or more)
• Traditional tools are limited with the questions they
answer
• Is it spelled correctly? Does it contain poor words?
• Has everything been implemented (traceability)?
• IBM Watson enables us to answer cognitive questions
• Is the requirement well written and consistent?
• Have we done something like this before?
• Can we interpret the requirements into engineering
data? (e.g. translate to models)
• See IBM Watson video for details

Current solutions…and why they can miss errors
– Peer review
– Difficult to enforce across teams
– Manual, tedious review of long documents
– Wasted time on trivial, novice mistakes
– Checklists
– Limited capacity to keep track of all quality indicators (cognitive span is 7 +/- 2 things)
– Rules engines
– Simple key word searches cannot understand words in context
– Ex. of “clear”
– Ambiguous: “The GPS system shall provide a clear perspective of the road”
– Not ambiguous: “The GPS System shall clear the display on transition to power off mode”

Watson / Presentation Title / Date43
Introducing Requirements Quality Assistant
IBM Watson IoT / © 2018 IBM Corporation
New Watson capability embedded inside DNG and DOORS…
• Removes risk and ambiguity in the requirements authoring
phase out-of-the-box by using AI (Watson Natural
Language Understanding)
• Pre-trained to detect key quality indicators designed to be
consistent with the INCOSE Guidelines for Writing Good
Requirements
• Authors receive coaching from Watson to improve the
quality of the requirement as it is being written
Enterprise benefits (400 engineers example)
• Reduce the cost of defects by 60% to save $3.9M
• Reduce cost of manual reviews by 25%
• Retain engineering expertise for junior engineers

IBM Requirements Quality Assistant
• Grades requirements against a criteria that was designed to be
consistent with the INCOSE Guidelines for Writing Good
Requirements
• Pre-trained to detect 10 quality issues
– Unclear actor or user
– Compound requirement
– Negative requirements
– Escape clause
– Missing units
– Missing tolerances
– Ambiguity
– Passive
– Incomplete requirements
– Unspecific quantities
• Add to the list of quality issues or do deeper training through
a 3 week services engagement with IBM services team

• Identifies exactly what’s wrong with the
requirement
• Displays the issue to the requirements
engineer

• Learns from the requirements engineer
• Becomes “smarter” over time

§ Hosted in Sydney or Melbourne (DR opposite)
“…we have accelerated our time
to market and reduced our build
and deployment time by 55%,
freeing our developers…”
Your application development environment is taken care of, so you can focus on your business!

Next Step :
• What clients do you see the above Synergies with?
• Customized DOORS Next Gen Demo
• Provide some sample requirement specifications (Word).
⁃ Insist on having least 2 different types of requirement specifications so that we can
show the traceability between 2.
• Provide some sample Requirement Traceability Matrix Files (Excel?)
• Any particular regulations that need to provide compliance?
