“Requirements management is a well understood and mature discipline in systems engineering organizations, and the same principles apply to more dynamic software development teams,” said Bola Rotibi, Principal Analyst at industry analysts Ovum. “However, shorter release cycles and more rapid development models require ‘just enough’ process support to balance the need for speed with the demand for quality.”
“For development projects to successfully meet the needs of their customers, it’s important that those stakeholders are included in the development process, regardless of the size or scope of the project,” said Teresa Jones, Senior Analyst at industry analysts Butler Group. “Collaborative requirements management solutions make it easier for stakeholders to directly submit and monitor their requirements. This improves developers’ overall ability to meet the needs of their customers.”
