» Managing Process Architecture and Requirements in a CMMI® based SPI project

(526 Views) (0 Comments)

When developing or changing a process, and all its related assets, often the process engineers have to face an important issue: how defining an integrated set of processes so that each process element is designed taking in consideration its relationships with all the other interfacing elements. Together with this issue, we also have the need to ens...

» Rapid Requirements Engineering – Does a Specification Always Need to Come at the Start?

(572 Views) (0 Comments)

Requirements and the way they are dealt with are decisive to the success of a project. This statement is never really questioned in modern software engineering circles. Why is it, then, that a systematic requirements engineering (RE) system is so rarely established? Where do the problems lie when it comes to implementing such a system? This p...

» FEATURED: Agile Requirements, in Context

(2702 Views) (0 Comments)

"As I discussed my May article for Modern Analyst, there's a lot of hype about the role of requirements in agile projects. Many people think you don’t “do” requirements on an agile project. Hogwash. Indeed, agile projects use requirements—but just enough requirements at just the right time." In this article Ellen covers a number of agile requireme...

“The biggest risk to your company is not being able to change fast enough… Business Rules are the answer.” …Ron Ross I am a great appreciator of Mr. Ross.

» Enterprise Architect for Business Analysts

(10148 Views) (7 Comments)

As a software architect and developer I’ve used Enterprise Architect (EA) from Sparx Systems (www.sparxsystems.com) for a number of years. In that time I’ve spent considerable time and energy trying to get our business analysts to do the same. While I’ve had some success I must admit it’s been an uphill battle. I suspect this is partly because EA i...

» FEATURED: Developing Requirements in Agile Projects

(2211 Views) (0 Comments)

The latest progression in software development methods is the agile approach. Its growing popularity proves how effective it is. But two extreme—and even dangerous—views have arisen about agile development. One is that you don’t do requirements at all when you’re working on an agile project. The other is that you don’t need good requirements practi...

» Requirements for My New Car: a Fable (A Case for gathering and eliciting requirements collaboratively)

(1916 Views) (8 Comments)

A lot of IT folks and or BA’s believe that if you create the requirements without the business, and then review the requirements with the business for confirmation, you can save a lot of time. After all, creating requirements collaboratively just takes too long, and the business doesn't know what they want, anyways. In addition, we (IT or BA) k...

» Process Models Bridge the Requirements Gap

(603 Views) (0 Comments)

Defining business requirements accurately is one of the most important success factors for technology projects. Rather than focus on solutions that satisfy a list of requirements, we need to focus on solutions that satisfy desired business outcomes. The best way to achieve this is by performing business process modeling. Employing a vi...

» Agile Requirements Best Practices

(491 Views) (0 Comments)

To be honest, I'm not very enamored with the term "best practice". I believe that the term "contextual practice" makes far more sense because what is a "best practice" in some situations proves to be a "worst practice" in others. Having said that, people are interested in best practices so here they are when it comes to agile requirements modeling:...

» Agile Requirements Modeling

(530 Views) (0 Comments)

Many traditional project teams run into trouble when they try to define all of the requirements up front, often the result of a misguided idea that developers will actually read and follow what the requirements document contains. The reality is that the requirements document is usually insufficient, regardless of how much effort goes into it, the r...
