Graal Designer provides to analysts and agile product owners the ability to specify the users needs and their interactions with a system.
The Graal methodology allows the modeling of business systems by focusing on the users needs and his interations with the system. By analyzing the tasks a user should be able to perform, the Graal methodology allows the analyst to define tasks, use cases, user stories and interaction aspects a system should offer.
Graal is well adapted for product owners in SCRUM methology, as it provides specifications easily understandable by non IT users.
This module uses a dedicated Graal metamodel provided by Obeo Network community and it implements the following diagrams:
- Tasks graph
- Action plan
- Use cases
- Actors
- User stories
- Layers to indentify tasks related to selected user stories
This modeling tool can be used in conjunction with other designers:
- Cinematc Designer for UI cinematic
- SOA Designer for services
- Entity Designer for domain model
Some users reports they success to generate functional tests from Graal with an Acceleo generator for JBehave.
