The automated process of requirement management has gained enough significance. Requirement tracking tools nowadays stand as the era's buzzword.
(prHWY.com) March 29, 2012 - Santa Clara, CA -- Typically, the software systems requirements engineering stands as the ultimate process of discovering stakeholders, identifying their needs, trace the documents and then documenting these in the archetypal form to analyze communication and subsequent implementation. Well, the Stakeholders largely include the wide range of customers, users and developers and may be numerous and distributed. Well, the goals of the stakeholders might vary and the conflict also depends on their perspectives of the environment in which they work. Does that ring a bell? Well, we are talking about the automated process of better requirements management. The requirements tracking tools stand as the era's choice.
The whole process of Requirements Engineering comprised of the following core activities such as:-
1. Problem Synthesis
2. Requirements Elicitation
3. Requirements Analysis
4. Requirements Specification
5. Requirements Verification and Validation
6. Requirements Management
The pivotal key to better requirements management is indeed goof, matured, transparent and traceable communication. Possibly you know this, good requirements management process ensure a high level of communication between the stakeholders.
According to recent research by Project Management Solutions, one of the staggering reasons software projects fail is because of poorly managed requirements. If software and systems requirements are poorly defined (unclear, unprioritized, unconsumable, incomplete, unreflective of business goals and objectives) projects are more likely to fail. This is where the automated process of requirement management has gained enough significance. Requirement tracking tools nowadays stand as the era's buzzword.
As a matter of fact, comprehensive information and attributes about requirements management need to be stored to promote understandability, for customers as well as developers. Moreover, the attributes should also be visible to all concerned stakeholders as well as the selected individuals and also the requirements attributes should be able to update values.
Agile, cutting edge and state of the art Requirements management software tools thus automate the generation of several system-defined attributes, such as date created and version number and more. Moreover, tracing the individual requirements to other system components also ensure that developers do not overlook any requirements while working on the implementation process.
A good requirements tracker in place will help in tracking the status of each requirement during development thereby supporting overall project status tracking.
