I'm really pumped about this open source tool project I've started which promises to join Lean Startup/Hypothesis-Driven Development and DevOps. Enter everything only once, have it available wherever it's needed.
Analysis has always been an area that the tech community has lacked, ever since it was overdone back in the days of structured programming. It's really cool to bring back a bit of structured analysis as just another tool in the DevOps pipeline and join up the information with all the folks that need it.
Still working on the elevator pitch. Unfortunately it's not as obvious as something like "Facebook for cats!" (Although I think it will be much more useful)
The general idea is to be able to have informal, unstructured business conversations, take those conversations and type extremely brief, semi-structured (tagged) notes, and have those notes "compile" out to various places throughout the organization where they might be needed. One way to think of it is Requirements/Use Cases/User Stories without the rigor. (Or rather without the rigor and onerous BS folks constantly seem to be always adding around them)
Here's the repo. There's also a PDF with details of the tagging language I can send if you're interested. Ping me.
