RQ-Tech method for user-involved software development

One of the most perplexing issues facing the United States Department of Defense (DoD) is defining and documenting business processes as a precursor to system and software development. The reusable quality technical architectures (RQ-Tech) methodology creates a virtual business environment that empowers business process owners (users) with tools and techniques for modeling requirements in a user-friendly architectural framework. Once a few simple rules are conveyed, the users´ model can grow as rapidly as they can search, name, click, and save. RQ-Tech fills the ever-widening gap between DoD- and Coalition Partner-users (requirements generators) and system and software developers (capability providers) by invoking an ldquoXML translatorrdquo disguised as the user´s planning environment. RQ-Tech updates a proven modeling technique for documenting processes, controls and mechanisms; while simplifying the model presentation.
