Cradle Modules<\/h2>\n

Cradle<\/strong><\/em> is an integrated requirements management and systems engineering environment with the features, flexibility and scalability for the full lifecycle of today’s complex agile and phase-based projects.<\/p>\n

\"Overview<\/a>
Overview of Cradle Modules<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From concept to creation, from Cradle to grave.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Cradle is unique. It provides the tools and features to create and manage all your data, at all stages in your systems development, and at all levels. By managing all the data in one place, only Cradle can provide traceability across the entire lifecycle in one tool. Without Cradle, you have to assemble many products from many vendors, and you will still not have the full traceability that Cradle can provide.<\/p>\n

What does Cradle Provide?<\/h2>\n

Cradle provides full requirements management, analysis, design, architecture and performance modelling<\/a>, test<\/a>, risk<\/a> and interface management and metrics<\/a> in one product. You can use all of these facilities, or combine Cradle with tools from other vendors. If you have such tools then Cradle will link to them, extending their scope from a part of the system lifecycle to all of it.<\/p>\n

Cradle is multi-user, multi-project, distributed, open and extensible. It links to your existing desktop tools to create a tailored environment to suit your process.<\/p>\n

Cradle provides built-in issue, risk and interface management. It supports comparative trade studies and analyses. Cradle provides a built-in\u00a0 configuration management<\/a> and control system with baselines<\/a>, version control, change histories and formal change control. It bidirectionally links a WBS and progress reporting to your project planning<\/a> tool. With these capabilities,\u00a0 Cradle removes the need for you to try to connect risk, CM or change tracking tools to your systems engineering. Cradle provides everything you need, integrated and ready to use.<\/p>\n

Access Control and Authentication<\/h2>\n

Cradle has customisable, hierarchical, access control facilities and integrates with your authentication, access control and security mechanisms including firewalls, LDAP<\/a> and SSL. Cradle provides user-definable views of project data, tailored to each stakeholder group. With customisable navigation, review and entry tools and tailored web UIs, Cradle shows each user the data that they want to see, in the way that they want to see it.<\/p>\n

Cradle Databases<\/h2>\n

Projects use user-defined, arbitrarily extensible databases, linked to external files, URL resources and data in external repositories. Each database is configuration controlled, with change histories<\/a>, baselines, versions and variants, managed by configurable change requests<\/a> and change tasks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cradle Access<\/h2>\n

Cradle supports off-line and remote access from geographically separate groups. Internet and VPN access is provided, with full support for project and company firewalls and DMZs.<\/p>\n

It connects dispersed teams together, with tailorable discussions<\/a>, alerts<\/a> and e-mail.<\/p>\n

Cradle Modules Overview<\/h2>\n

Cradle is modular, using floating licences to share resources dynamically across the project. The Cradle modules overview is:<\/p>\n
