Description
Requirements represent the needs of stakeholders and satisfying these needs is the purpose of any project endeavor. Therefore, requirements are the most important ingredient to start any project. Critical to achieving project success is the effective management of requirements and the needs they represent. It doesn’t matter whether project teams are using predictive waterfall methods or more adaptive agile approaches, the goal is the same regardless of industry.
The reasons why projects fail has not changed much over the years. Poor communication, inaccurate requirements, and the lack of effective requirements management continue to be at the top of the list, suggesting the need for an approach that will end this trend and deliver desired results consistently.
The Requirements Elicitation, Planning, Analysis, and Collaboration (REPAC) Framework is an entirely new approach to requirements management. It helps project teams center their efforts around what matters most to stakeholders–their needs. Teams use REPAC to focus their attention, choose the correct perspective, and select the appropriate level of complexity necessary for effective collaboration to build and manage requirements right the first time, every time.
