Assessment of Requirements Definition (RD) Processes

 

HOOD can support you in optimising your existing process for defining requirements with suitable tools. The HOOD Capability Model for Requirements Definition is a maturity model that we have specifically developed for evaluating requirements definition processes. We use it to evaluate both the definition and description of the project scope and the system interfaces. Based on agreed quality criteria, we will asses the elicitation of requirements, the specification of customer or system requirements and the checking of the specifications. We will also analyse the degree to which you support individual activities by using modeling and proven interviewing and creative techniques.

We will analyse the strengths and weaknesses of your RD process and the software tools you are using, evaluate the results and present recommendations for improvement. We will support you in planning step by step improvements, which are tailored to your organisation's specific requirements and do not overwhelm your staff.

HOOD’s services will allow you to find out how well you are already handling requirements in your tool environment and where you have scope for improvement. This will help you to organise your development activities more efficiently and to achieve your project goals more quickly.

  

For whom is this service beneficial?

 

• Organisations wishing to optimise their process for defining requirements and their use of existing tools.
• Organisations that would like an inventory of their process for defining requirements and require a statement regarding the maturity level of the process.
• Organisations wishing to identify potential for optimising individual sub-processes within their requirements definition process and wishing to benefit from these improvements.
