Requirements Analysis

On surveys of failed projects, the one cause of failure that shows up most often is having missed or poorly defined requirements. Requirements collection is especially problematic in the IT field, where work often starts before the business requirements are fully collected and the user requirements change continually throughout the project.

causeis offers organisations the opportunity to avoid costly mistakes and assess the detailed needs of their business and establish minimum requirements before embarking on the deliver of a solution.

Requirements analysis is critical to the success of a development project. Requirements must be actionable, measurable, testable, related to identified business needs or opportunities and defined to a level of detail sufficient for system design. causeis achieves this by:

  • Elicitation: engaging with customers and users through various communication methods to clearly determine their requirements.
  • Analysis: determining whether the stated requirements are unclear, incomplete, ambiguous, or contradictory and then resolving these issues.
  • Documentation: requirements are documented in various forms, such as natural-language documents, use cases, user stories and process specifications.
