DESCRIPTION
The greatest challenge to all project initiatives is effective communication, written as well as oral. A key stumbling block today are the tools available. Narrative requirements, flow charts, Venn and State diagrams, and Use cases. The issue, with the exception of narrative requirements, is that they are graphical tools superimposed with text. It is impossible to automate and intergrate this structure in any meaningfull way with project artifacts such as project plans, work breakdown structures, test matrices, and compliance templates. The NWIS Blueprint is a revolutionary paridigm to this approach. Requirements are captured as structured text and a detail design generated therefrom. This structured text used in concert with XML can be used to automate all project artifacts and maintain their synchronization. This means that the CIO, Project Manager, and stakeholders have an accurate snapshot as of a point in time as to the health of any initiative.

Successful Project Management
Success through • Automation of requirements • Automated integration of all artifacts from
requirements such as project plans, risks and issues, test matrices, PMO administrative systems, work breakdown structure, etc.
• Presentation of a detail design presentation, which enables identification of errors, omissions, and/or ambiguities

State of Project Success

Challenges• The trilogy:
• Budget• Schedule• Scope
• Root Cause of these challenges:• Communication • Unclear requirements• Lack of fluidity and synchronization of project
artifacts among project phases
www.NewWaveIntegratedSolutions.com
Written Communication are gathered and documented using the following tools
• Narrative requirements• Flow charts• Venn diagrams• State diagrams• Use cases
www.NewWaveIntegratedSolutions.com
Challenges with existing tools
• Graphical presentation of logic flows consist of “shapes” superimposed with text
• These structural approaches do not support project artifacts’;
– Integration –Correlation–Synchronization
• Results are Project artifacts created independent of one another
www.NewWaveIntegratedSolutions.com
Today’s Communication Tools’ structures do not support automated creation of artifacts from
requirements

The trick is to keep all these artifacts synchronized
Information is “King”
• Project Information, how it’s maintained, applied, and communicated can make the difference between success and failure
• Today’s Project Management artifacts are created separate from one another and maintained in a fractured, disparate manner.
• Synchronization, integration, and cohesion, through automation are costly in dollars, time, and resources
www.NewWaveIntegratedSolutions.com
The NWIS Blueprint©A revolutionary new paradigm
• Requirements are gathered as structured text rather than as graphic symbols
• A Detail Design presentation is generated at any time from the requirements’ text base
• The structured text based repository driven by XML enables;– Automated generation of project artifacts from a single
source– Synchronization, correlation, and integration of all project
artifacts– Empowerment of PMO, Project Manager, sponsor and
Stakeholders• A snapshot in time of the health of the initiative

Common Theme
• What binds all these artifacts together are requirements
• Without thorough, well articulated requirements, the usefulness of each and every one of these artifacts is impaired
• Non synchronization of all project artifacts may lead to confusion and inappropriate actions adversely impacting costs, schedule, and scope

Automated requirements
• Gather• Document• Present• Interactive, real time update and
maintenance
