Case Study: Rail Projects Victoria achieves real-time, collaborative rail project management with IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next

Keeping Melbourne’s most complex rail project on time and on track

Rail Projects Victoria, the Victorian government agency overseeing Melbourne’s AUD 11 billion Metro Tunnel Project, needed a better way to manage thousands of complex requirements across multiple contractors and stakeholders. Spreadsheets and siloed processes were too slow and risky for coordinating this highly interdependent rail program, so RPV turned to IBM for a more secure, collaborative requirements management approach.

IBM implemented IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next on IBM Cloud, along with IBM Engineering Workflow Management Contributor SaaS and IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization – Publishing. The solution created a real-time, secure single source of truth for requirements, change, risk, and interface management, helping RPV improve visibility and traceability, reduce delays and risk from changes, and standardize its approach for future projects.
