DOORS Discussions
Enabling the requirements review process Review comments written against requirements and documents
Comments on comments to make up “Discussions”
Synchronous reviews without the need to lock data
Review comments sit outside of the requirement itself i.e. do not form part of the requirement or DOORS object
Discussions are raised against information at a particular time i.e. baseline or current version
Preconfigured discussion columns to review the review
