TeamDefine is a rapid prototyping / simulation environment for software requirements definition. It enables business analysts and other non-technical users to easily translate concepts and elaborate textual business requirements into working models through storyboards and interactive simulations. Stakeholders can then walk through published simulations to review conceptual functionality and validate requirements -- before development begins.
TeamDefine is a simulation tool designed to visually model and validate requirements for business analysts and development teams. TeamDefine provides a means to describe software requirements in both a visual and functional format. As a result, business analysts can use functioning simulations, live data, and screen-to-screen functionality to create, display, and validate requirements in real time. TeamDefine is a Web-based, platform and browser independent application that runs in a Web browser and assists with the discovery and design of simulations. With TeamDefine workspace you can develop step-based scenarios similar to use cases that provide business-process flows with validation features.

Key Benefits |
|
Fast and easy simulation Drag-and-drop assembly lets nontechnical users create simulations in minutes |
| |
A realistic experience Simulations use sample data and business logic from your organization, so stakeholders experience exactly how the software will perform in real life |
| |
Streamlined collaboration Accessing simulations via the Web is an easy, no-cost way for users to review and leave comments, shortening the feedback cycle and ensuring critical feedback rises above the noise |
| |
Business process storyboarding Multiuser, server-based process diagramming helps you define business processes and lets you quickly sketch and distribute diagrams, as well as attach images and other documents for additional context |
Key Features

Key Features |
|
Create visual system representations TeamDefine is a simulation tool designed to make development fast and intuitive for development teams |
| |
Generate dynamic output TeamDefine can produce output that mirrors a user's wishes for screen design and click-through functionality. Use interactive design tools, data table integration, templates, and other features to automate application presentation and maintain consistency. |
| |
Capture and describe processes Optional scenarios allow you to capture business processes without being tied to one methodology. A scenario storyboard function allows sequential review of processes separately from prototyping the application. |
| |
Generate requirements automatically TeamDefine tracks and saves requirements automatically from each visual object that you create. |
| |
Create additional requirements with text You can also write text requirements and attach the requirements to specific objects. |
| |
Gather customer validation with a built-in feedback function No license is required for viewing a running simulation. You can have as many reviewers as needed without any additional cost. Password protection for simulation review is available, but is not mandatory. |
| |
Create documentation and reports on the fly Reports for scenarios and simulations are easily accessible in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. Requirements reports are available in Microsoft Excel format. |
