Requirements Focus

We take a requirements-oriented approach to application lifecycle process improvement. There are some compelling reasons for this:

According to CIO magazine and industry analysts Gartner and Forrester, ineffective requirements are the cause of up to 70 percent of IT project failures.

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) reports that:

• Requirements issues are the #1 cause of cancelled or over-budget projects
• Around 50% of all defects originate during requirements
• 25% – 40% of total project expenditures are attributable to rework due to requirements defects

Our experienced analysts can review your existing application lifecycle and requirements-related processes and provide you with an independent benchmark of your current process maturity. We offer two levels of maturity assessment:

• Health Check – a summary level analysis of your current processes
• Benchmark – a rigorous, standardised assessment against our Requirements Maturity Model (RMM)
