Requirement Management

Between 40% and 60% of software failures and defects are the result of poor software management and requirements definition. This is to say that the programming was fine and the developers did their job well - only they did a different job from what they were supposed to.

The definition of a successful program is that it is 100% compliant with its initial requirements. But if those requirements contain mistakes, are unclear or poorly defined, then there is very little one can do to correct the problem later in the process. So, a bit of advance planning simply doubles the success changes of any software project.

Digité's requirements management module allows for managing requirements with complete traceability, distributed requirements capture, role based security and access controls.

With the Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM), requirements management function has matured to support and enhance project management, impact analysis and change management, defect management, process improvement and team communications. It is possible to define/store multiple versions of RTM as various baselines, which can then be used for further reference and analysis.
