Management – The Foundation for Quality

Requirements Management is a complex process often filled with assumptions, gaps, and little ownership or accountability. If not handled appropriately with a clear vision of the project scope, foreseen and unexpected changes to the software project can add significant costs to product development and delay release, often with devastating financial impact.  This presentation will help you:   • Maximize the best practices and standards your organization needs for optimal Requirements Development and Management • Visualize the role you should fill to ensure effective Requirements Management • Understand the financial impact that effective vs. poor Requirements Management processes can have on your software development life cycle, through industry data and case studies • Build an ROI Business Case for improving Requirements Management • Implement practical first steps for improving your Requirements Management process
