The Seilevel approach: gather requirements right from the start. By asking the right questions of the right people — with a rigorous methodology — Seilevel has a proven approach for defining requirements. What is the single biggest factor in the success of your software project? The Standish 2004 CHAOS Report, which surveyed 9,236 IT projects, found that 18% failed and a further 53% were seriously late, over budget or lacking expected features. Only 29% of the surveyed projects were considered to be delivered successfully. The top three causes were lack of user input, incomplete requirements and changing requirements. The answer is simple: get your requirements right and you get your software right. Requirements are the blueprint of every software project. They determine functionality, behavior and ultimate metrics for success. Yet most organizations don’t invest enough resources in this vital aspect of the project. They leave the task to developers or project managers without adequate training, or fail to apply the necessary discipline to create complete software requirements. Whether the requirements are vague or incomplete, missing or incorrect, or simply superfluous, the implications can be costly. > Read more about Seilevel’s Use Case Methodology. |
