Requirements Management

Why the need for Requirements Management?

Have you ever faced these issues within a software development project?

Ever changing user requirements
Ineffective requirements capture and communication
Requirements not being delivered
Features implemented that were never requested by business
Inconsistent requirements across dependent projects
The impact of making changes to requirements
Agonising over which requirements to drop when faced with resourcing issues
Rework required late in the development cycle
Project scope and cost slipping without warning

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Requirements Management may assist you.
