Define and manage requirements

Industry analysis suggests that at least half of all defects arise from incomplete or incorrect requirements, and more than 80% of the effort to fix defects is spent fixing requirement-related defects. You can reduce this overhead by promoting early feedback and a shared understanding of the business needs to ensure the right software is built first time.

Improving the quality of requirements has an immediate and dramatic effect on your project’s success, including:

• Reduction in reworking and the risk of miscommunication
• Focusing development on the features that deliver the highest return
• Carrying out testing and QA directly against requirements, increasing user acceptance
• Satisfied and happy end-users
