“For Embedded Systems Developers, Time to Market is Critical. Learn the No. 1 Strategy to Develop and Deliver Faster.”

Most projects fail before one line of code is written. This especially rings true across the microelectronics and embedded systems industries.

As software accounts for a greater proportion of system functionality, it is emerging as a primary agent for differentiation and resource investment — how does this change the development process?

Embedded systems, particularly with greater reliance on software, require more formal development practices.

The key to successfully managing the complexity of today’s development lifecycle is getting the foundation — the requirements — built before you start developing.

VDC Computer Monitor

Through this lens VDC Research analyst André Girard and Jama Software cofounder Derwyn Harris will provide detailed insight into these changing realities and actionable tactics to achieve product success through:

• Efficient communication
• Informed decision making
• Tight alignment around requirements

Join this webinar to learn how you can benefit from the use of formal requirements-management tools to directly connect programming activity back to business needs, define and validate the requirements and manage the inevitable change arising during the product lifecycle.
