Failure to properly identify and manage requirements is the single most consistent cause of project failure, regardless of project size and organization. The requirements analysis process is defect prone for a variety of reasons. Post-implementation reviews of most information systems projects typically show that 60-75% of all defects encountered during a project, and embedded in the finished systems products, are defects in requirements.

Studies also show a major cost of software development is correcting erroneous and missing requirements. If these changes need to be made to an operational system, they will cost 100 times as much to correct as if requirements are corrected during the requirements gathering phase of software development.

This three-day course covers technically what requirements are and what we really mean by the term “requirements.” It also addresses the challenge of getting valid requirements which is one of the most important issues in avoiding defects. The course further provides a seven – phased process for developing valid requirements and presents effective tools and techniques for defining and validating those requirements.
