Our Mission

To help organizations to improve their own performance in Requirements Management.

Benefits to the Customer

According to a survey of the Standish Group done in 1995, and since repeated every 2 years, the most common reasons for project failure are not technical although the symptoms often appear as technical symptoms. The role of Management is critical in ensuring the success of projects. The survey recognizes two groups of major problems which are:

Requirements related:	Incomplete requirements Lack of user involvement Changing requirements
Management related:	Lack of resources Unrealistic expectations Lack of executive support Lack of planning

By improving Requirements Management, your organization will benefit from:

Shortened product development times and reduced development costs
No more product delays and budget overruns
Improved clarity and effectiveness in your requirements
Increased ease in implementing requirements
Better management of complex development efforts
Improved product quality
Reduced management burden

The key role of requirements management is critical for the success or failure of projects in system development. Many organizations make the mistake of assuming that every talented developer or software engineer is also able to lead interviews with users or customers and draw up requirements documents without any further training or help from experienced coaches.

Requirements Management needs special abilities and special knowledge just like testing, project management and project estimation. Developers that are suddenly put in the position of an analyst often have too little training for this. People in this position that come from the user's side have too little technical background. An experienced RM specialist in your team can make the difference between a successful project and a project that is battling with problems.

We want to accompany your organization on it's way to turning key employees into requirements management experts. We will help you carry out your projects according to requirements management principles. You will be able to work on your own after some coaching from us.
