Why Requirements—What’s in it for You? The problem is that people use software, but other people build it. Solving the problem means understanding the actual work of the business users—and what they need to do it. Requirements is about deducing the product that will add long-term value to the organization—and then writing requirements that lock the developers into the exact product. Getting It Right the First Time Building software today means that you are in it for the long haul. And you know that there are more demands—and fewer resources—to meet those demands. Getting the software right—the first time—is the only way to succeed under these circumstances. Today’s requirements process is incremental with quick cycle times. It uses prototypes and scenarios, and the requirements process ensures that you get the right result by writing a fit criterion—a test case for the requirement. Your Requirements Requirements are the most misunderstood—yet the most crucial—part of systems development. If the requirements are wrong, you end up with the wrong system. Your requirements process must be your own, but it should be based on field-proven techniques and templates. This course presents the Volere process—used and improved by thousands of organizations around the world—and then shows you how you make it your own process.
