Process and Requirement Audits

Your people are not producing products or completing projects on schedule or on budget, and they are blaming bad requirements. How many times have they tweaked, or even completely redone your process, but things are still not better?

Unfortunately, on most projects, everyone rushes to start the design, so they hurry up to finish the requirements – glossing over their importance. We know you are pressing hard, but rework is much more costly than the investment to get it right in the beginning. It's time for some expert help.

Process Audits

Is your requirement management process complete? Are you over-killing in some areas and missing the mark in other areas? Do you have resources tied up in “process churn” – continually redoing the process and making no appreciable improvement?

Our experts evaluate your requirement management process to identify efficiencies and deficiencies. We then recommend changes to improve the process so that you achieve the results your organization desires.

Requirement Audits

If you have begun your project with defective requirements, you will return to them again and again throughout design, testing and operations. ReqExperts can rapidly assess the state of your requirements at any time in the requirement gathering process. We can work in parallel with your team so that you will decrease late rework, run less risk of slipping design, and bring in your project on schedule and on budget.

  • Just starting the definition process? – We'll help you correct early defects and prevent their recurrence throughout the remainder of the process.
  • Requirement definition process already partially underway? – We help you quickly identify defects and categorize those that must be fixed quickly and those that can wait.
  • Almost done with the requirement definition process? – Quickly identify defects that are going to cause you grief at Critical Design Review or in verification. You can start rework prior to verification and at least save re-test time.
