Chapter 2 Introducing PowerDesigner
Team Leaders will have an interest in all the models, and will want to ensure that all the requirements, design objects and documents are linked together via traceability links to allow for impact analysis and change management.
You will establish a PowerDesigner Enterprise Repository as a central point of storage. The repository supports metadata sharing, versioning, impact analysis, and reporting for models and other system documents, has a robust security model, and supports true enterprise scalability from a single repository instance.
You can ensure that up-to-date and accurate documentation is produced and widely available. The full-featured Report Editor allows you to automate the production of detailed reports (in RTF and HTML formats) on any or all of the components of your system for sharing design information within the project team and across the whole company.
A Free Model (FEM) can be used to create diagrams to explain the architecture of your system and applications, the use-case scenarios of applications, flowcharts, and other graphics.
