years’ experience
working internationally.
After working on many of
the world’s largest ERP and
CRM implementations with
1000s of requirements, offshore
development t eams, home
workers and globally
distributed workforces it was
clear that spreadsheets and
word documents were not an
ideal source of truth for any
project!
A simple solution was
needed that was better for a
team to use than excel and
more scalable and portable
than a whiteboard. It had to be
accessible not only from your
desk or the project room - but
globally.
Business Analysts are
always running workshops and
continually meeting users.
Bright Green Projects allows
everyone to access project
information in a workshop, with
a client, or even at an airport.
Some Project Managers
work from home or spend a few
days a week in different offices.
Remote workers and globally
distributed teams are becoming
more common.
Rarely are stakeholders in
the same office and often
development teams are in
different continents.

Management? • Each iteration or sprint delivers a real, working and tested piece of software to the
customer every 2-6 weeks for feedback and review.

Key Features
Key Features
Requirements Management
Like the plans of a house, requirements
are a a core component of any
implementation. It is much easier, cheaper to
change a requirement in the early stages of
a project, rather than after it has been built!
BGP allows users to quickly and easily
capture and manage requirements.
Important documents such as wireframes,
process flows or even videos can be
attached to each requirement and accessed
by the whole team.
Agile methodologies encourage the
team to embrace change, and as a result,
Bright Green Projects has a detailed audit
trail to track changing requirements.
Commenting and
Collaboration
Inspired by commenting on a photo in
facebook, Bright Green encourages your
team and customers to comment on
requirements or issues.
All conversations about a specific
requirement are central and available for all
to see. It won’t get lost in your emails.
Estimating and Planning
Estimates can be captured against
requirements and issues. If the expert is
offsite, BGP’s “request estimate” workflow
will send an email to the expert and prompt
them to update the system with an estimate.
Dependencies
Projects are complex. Changing one
requirement can often impact others. Bright
Green Projects allows you to define
dependencies or relationships between
different requirements, issues or risks.
“I like the electronic card wall (kanban) which is great for our virtual team – it’s not often we can all meet face to face so the wall
shows everyone what’s happening. The requirements system has made it much easier, everything is in the one place and so easily
searchable….we don’t lose important information any more. Our team members like the comment feature and use it a lot…it’s a
way of ensuring good collaboration and makes everyone feel that others are interested in their contribution.”
