Requirements engineering is about more than just analyzing and documenting requirements. It is an important part of systems engineering. It's a multidisciplinary activity that affects and broadens the product development process, and it's essential if your organization deals with:
Complex products.
Globally distributed teams.
Conformance with standards and regulations.
Accelerated development cycles that provide little time to fix errors.
Experienced staff who are leaving or retiring and taking their experience with them.
Shrinking development budgets and diminishing resources.
Constantly changing customer and marketplace requirements.
Companies that successfully introduce a new requirements engineering process not only change their process and technology, but also change their thinking. On top of improving your requirements management and analysis practices, this step-by-step guide can help you accelerate change and process acceptance across your organization.
