Over 68 % of projects fail – their solutions are implemented, but are never used, or they deliver less than expected capabilities.

Missed, or misunderstood, requirements is one of the top 4 reasons associated with project failure.

Creating clear business requirements focused on user needs, or “What’s”, for a project is critical to project success. But, how do you expand these requirements beyond the more obvious functional needs to include the often overlooked requirements for reporting, user experience / interfaces and project acceptance criteria?

Join Solutions Cube for this free 1 hour webinar to learn how to develop a set of project requirements which include the needs associated with the user experience (Use Cases and Screen Design), business questions and the required information to answer these questions (Reporting Requirements).

In this webinar participants will learn about:

• Defining requirements that lead to report design and development to ensure the ongoing business questions can be answered once the solution is implemented.
• Creating user interfaces requirements toclarify the needs for entry and retrieval of information.
• Determining the appropriate user acceptance test objectives to validate that the solution to be developed will address all of the project needs.

Requirements engineering is the systematic approach to providing direction before and during software development. It provides the means to deliver the right products or solutions at the right time for the right markets.

Requirements Engineering (RE) bridges the entire life cycle and thus determines success or failure of a product or solution.

This mini tutorial with Christof Ebert (LinkedIn profile) shows how to best use RE and master its challenges. It describes how to develop and write good requirements and how to manage them during the project. The presentation underlines the basic concepts and practices of RE with broad industrial experiences.
