Usage Scenarios
The Power of Simulation
 |
Simulation: iRise simulations look and behave exactly like the final business application, eliminating confusion and getting everyone on the same page.
|
|
 |
Business Analysis: BAs use iRise to quickly assemble a visual blueprint of business applications – before coding. Iterative stakeholder review & approval is accelerated with the iRise collaborative platform.
|
|
 |
UI/UX Design: iRise simulations offer user experience designers a high fidelity, interactive alternative to static screen mock-ups that is easy to learn and quick to assemble.
|
|
 |
Usability Testing: Simulations are a great way to quickly & iteratively test application interfaces directly with users – before any coding happens.
|
|
 |
Project Management: iRise simulations are visual blueprints for what to build – helping project managers to get projects scoped correctly, in on time, on budget and with all the features needed by the business.
|
|
 |
Development & QA: Visual, interactive simulations force the business to understand their requirements and prevents mid-stream changes. QA organizations can use high fidelity simulations to get a head start on writing test scripts & enable a "test to requirements" model to be realized.
|
|
 |
Requirements Management: Managing all the complex requirements that go into a business system is easy with iRise Manager, which works closely with the iRise simulation to form a complete picture of the proposed application.

Is It Live Or Is It iRise?
iRise simulations are so close to the final applications that people cannot tell the difference between the two. SunTrust recently unveiled their new banking application-a critical element in retaining acquired customers through a merger with NCF Bank-that was simulated first. In addition to look & feel, the user experience between the simulation and the final Web site are nearly identical.
SunTrust is one of many examples of how iRise simulations improve business confidence. They hoped to retain 82% of their newly acquired customers in the first 90 days. When the final system was rolled out, they reached this goal in just 14 days and went on to retain 95% in just 60 days – well ahead of their goals.
Learn more about how SunTrust retained valued customers.
Create interactive simulations for users with real data
Quick to assemble and compelling to use, iRise simulations provide a live "test drive" of applications before they're built. In many cases, they are indistinguishable from what will become the final system.
- Simulations can be quickly assembled by non-technical employees without the need for coding or databases
- Give stakeholders a visual preview of the systems they want
- Real interactivity and high fidelity create a compelling and cooperative definition
- Live data combined with rich functional scenarios greatly reduces ambiguity
Collaborate online in real time
Collaboration, done right, means that 1+1=11. Working together at the start of projects helps to both reduce the amount of time spent defining requirements, and leads to a reduction in churn and rework late in the development process.
- Teams work better when they work together
- The iRise Definition Center provides a collaborative platform for defining complex applications
- Users interact with simulations and provide real-time feedback to the authors, speeding the requirements process
- Collaboration drives consensus and improves end results
Capture requirements in context
Gathering requirements is easy, right? Wrong. On the other hand, gathering ambiguous or incorrect requirements is trouble free – until you have to deliver the system. Using a visual approach to elicit requirements gets everyone on the same page.
- Requirements alone, even when signed off, don't provide the clarity required to successfully deliver today's complex business systems
- Requirements captured in context are more accurate and understandable, both in authoring and while consuming
- The combination of requirements with a functional simulation provides an interactive blueprint keep people on track
- More than requirements, iRise also allows you to capture scenarios, use cases, and narration to guide your team towards a successful result
Manage requirements throughout the lifecycle
So the requirements are right, now what? Time to move them to a requirements automation system. iRise Manager combines the power and agility of a browser-based tool with the ease-of-use from a "just enough" approach to requirements management. Requirements management is no longer a burden for your team.
- Provide visibility to requirements for your entire team
- Manage requirements, allocate them to releases and audit them throughout the lifecycle
- Integrated requirements blogging support ensures the conversation continues throughout the project
- Produce hard-copy reports on demand
Publish globally with iDocs
Sometimes, the people you need input from aren't on your network. Sometimes, the people you need input from are on an airplane. iRise provides multiple ways of collaborating for your team.
- iDocs are fully functional simulations that allow people to try proposed applications, before coding
- iDocs are freely viewable by anyone you email them to
- Cast a wider net. Get feedback from a larger group of people before you begin a project – you'll be amazed by the feedback
- Wider consensus means wider appreciation. Get the right eyes on the right things every time.
Provide guided reviews with live feedback
There's no such thing as a good surprise on a project. Timely and well-managed feedback is essential. iRise helps teams to aggregate feedback from people within your network as well as those without.
- Walk-through notes provide a guideline for stakeholders to step through a simulation.
- Granular, in-context feedback is easily captured and communicated back to the team that assembled the simulation
- Changes to the simulation based on feedback can be made on the fly and publishing the updates is as easy as refreshing a browser
- Live feedback leads to extremely quick feedback loops. Rapid response leads to engaged users and better results
