Get requirements right the first time, every time

Are constant changes to requirements slowing down delivery?

Paper Length: Eight pages

Changes in requirements can set off a chain reaction in software development projects, resulting in massive delays and revisions that waste time and resources. Every team wants to reduce the delays and development costs caused by changing and miscommunicated requirements.

In this white paper, you’ll learn:

  • Why 70% of projects fail to meet deadlines and 50% fail to meet business needs
  • Why a full 40% of any given software project is rework
  • Which root causes of requirements issues your organization needs to address
  • How to set the right requirements the first time and drastically reduce rework
  • How to employ software simulation to test requirements and ensure their accuracy

Save time and money throughout the production of software projects.

Paper prototyping works fine for small projects and teams that are co-located. But it’s not always sufficient for larger, complex systems and fragmented teams that need to collaborate virtually. Visualization software—which supports rapid, on-the-fly prototyping—enables you to create working models of software during RD meetings with stakeholders located anywhere. Because business stakeholders can actually see proposed functionality, UIs, and workflows in front of them, they can react to what they see, discuss needs collaboratively, suggest changes, and then see them come alive—right before their eyes.

In other words, everyone involved in defining the requirements can collaborate and experiment interactively until they see a working model that meets everyone’s needs and expectations. The end result is that business stakeholders niche the RD process with an accurate, shared understanding of requirements—and they have a visual (rather than just text-based) way to communicate those needs to the IT professionals building software.
