Objectif
Due to the increasing complexity of software projects, keeping track of requirements and ensuring that the end product satisfies all requirements is becoming increasingly difficult and time consuming. This may result in rework and error corrections causing projects to exceed deadlines and budgets, leading to increased time to market, reduced customer satisfaction and commercial losses.
This is a common business concern and is the main driving force for this experiment whose objective is to ensure that all customer requirements are fulfilled and that products are delivered on schedule. More efficient requirements management will significantly reduce cost and shorten time to market.
THE EXPERIMENT
The achievement of the objective above requires the introduction of new procedures, methods and tool support, enabling the capturing and storing of requirements together with the rationale they are based on, in the early stages of a development project. New improved routines adjusted for the chosen tool support, for managing requirements throughout the project, will be introduced.
Alcatel Telecom Norway Defence Communications Division employs 270 people, of which 30 are expected to be involved in the process improvement experiment.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Alcatel Telecom Norway expects to gain knowledge in requirements management and to increase staff awareness of the importance of proper requirements management. The experiment is expected to lead to a 70 % reduction in errors due to incomplete management of requirements. In addition, it should be possible to produce a complete list of the status for each requirement, within two hours, in connection with monthly project progress reports.
Upon successful implementation of the experiment, the new procedures will be adjusted, based on experience gathered during the experiment, before the results are disseminated in the organisation and implemented in all projects.
