(mj 30-Mar-12) This list had been created for the March '12 Sprint to improve usability of ProR. It should be reevaluated on a regular basis.

The objective of this iteration is to improve usability. The following list will help us identify our priorities for this iteration.

If you want to help, please stick to the following guidelines:

• Each bullet represents a mini-usecase (is there a better word?). It should be pretty clear what is meant.
• Each bullet has a status. The quality is rated A = good to D = insufficient. If you rate, please add your initials, so that we can track down people.
• Please update the status as you see fit.
• Please add mini-usecases, but don't remove any (unless they are obviously duplicates)
• If you find an issue with a mini-usecase that is actually a bug, please file it in bugzilla and add a link to that bug.

Use cases:

• Creating a ReqIF model file
  • Improve the wizard (i.e. use IF attribute names, if permitted)
    • (mj) Status: C
    • (mj) It would be nice if the wizard would already allow some customization.
    • (mj) If the ProR perspective is selected, the wizard should be accessible directly under the "New" menu.
  • Help people looking for a "ProR Project"
    • (mj) Status: D
