RFP MED-12-001 | Technical ProposalIowa Medicaid Enterprise System Service Procurement | MMIS and Core MMIS OperationsFigure 8-35. JAD Session View of ReqTrace. ReqTrace is used real-time during the RequirementsValidation and Design collaborative sessions.The information captured in ReqTrace during these sessions will ultimately feed the RSDs. TeamNoridian will maintain the ReqTrace repository throughout the DDI project lifecycle. ReqTrace will alsobe used during system design to document information captured during the collaborative design sessionsbetween Team Noridian and the Department.The requirements maintained in ReqTrace will be the latest requirements that represent the current projectscope at any given time. Once the requirements are baselined for a specific DDI period, ReqTraceprovides the capability to lock the requirements to provide a read-only view of the requirements. Newlyidentified requirements will not be entered as approved into ReqTrace until the associated change requestis approved through the formal change control process established in the project’s governance processes.Similar to RV, Team Noridian conducts DSD using teams that are aligned by business areas. Eachbusiness process area will complete a series of focused JAD sessions around their associated lower-levelsystem use cases. Together, Team Noridian and the Department will review each system use case andassociated requirements, architectural diagrams, system flow diagrams, and logical data models duringthe JAD sessions.8 | 62
