Scott Ambler, a key founder of the Agile movement accurately stated, “If a requirement was misunderstood, all modeling decisions based on that requirement are invalid, the code written is also in question, and the testing efforts are now verifying the application under the wrong conditions”.

Project failures caused by poor requirements management are now reduced from 72% in 2005 to about 55% today by using proven best practices. We need to get closer to 10% to be a mature industry.

Imagine if 55% of the homes built had to be built over and over!

Freelancers are quickly becoming the workforce majority, with nearly 50% of Millennials already engaged in freelance “gig” work.^{1 (1 UpWork “Freelancing in America” study)}

The gig economy offers freedom and flexibility for workers, but what does it mean for employers?

Here are just a few of the concerns we hear:

• How do traditional employers compete for talent?
• How do we adapt to the changing expectations in the workforce?
• How do we engage and retain employees who now have countless options for work?

The gig economy has completely changed the world of work—and not just for the nearly 60 million Americans who have left the stable confines of organizational life to become independent contractors.

This momentous workforce shift is affecting employers across the board, especially employers with large hourly or entry-level workforces. While traditional employers can offer stability, the current workforce is craving independence and diversity of work.

1. So, what does the future look like for traditional employers? And ..
2. What can we expect from gig work in the next 10 years?

That’s what talent experts Cheryl Oxley (LinkedIn profile) Talent Strategy & Solutions Partner, OutMatch & Courtney Gear (LinkedIn profile) Director of Enterprise Client Success, OutMatch will cover in this webcast.
