The topic of requirements is a hot button in IT and software engineering organizations today – what’s driving this interest? Are tools the only answer or is there more to the problem?
As technology organizations look to solve the requirements challenge, it is apparent that many of today's requirements management tool purchases are misguided: Application development and program management professionals often buy requirements management tools for the wrong reasons and select tools that are out of line with their needs. Development organizations need to be realistic about the problems that a requirements management tool can address, the level of tooling that they require, and their ability to build and maintain tool integrations. Join Forrester Research analyst Peter Sterpe for a review of the requirements challenge, the business reasons that are accelerating requirements management tool investments, and key criteria to use in the tool selection process. Learn why not all requirements management tools are created equal and see which types of tools are best suited to address your organization’s particular challenges.

How often do you hear stories with the theme "We gave them just what they asked for, how were we to know it wasn't what they wanted?" Stories like this keep coming up because it's truly difficult to effectively manage changing requirements over the course of time that it takes to deliver great software. How do we bridge this disconnect between the end users and development - essentially, how do we communicate in real-time, and keep the lines of communication open throughout the software lifecycle?
Join industry expert Paul Conte for a deeper look at the requirements challenge. He'll discuss best practices around the creation and management of requirements, and talk about the importance of integrating requirements into your application lifecycle management process. By improving collaboration capabilities and managing requirements throughout the lifecycle we can overcome frustrations like rework, and ultimately give our users the applications they want, when they want them.

It is well
documented that no, or poorly written requirements are a significant cause of
project failures. As a result, many organizations are implementing more formal
requirements management practices. This introduces an opportunity for the QA
organization to update their processes and improve application quality.
In this
Webcast Brad Van Horne, Product Manager for MKS, discusses how to implement an
automated requirements based
testing methodology. He reviews:
1. How to
ensure that all of the project's requirements have complete test planning and
test execution coverage.
2. How to create, and then manage, the resolution
of defects found during testing.
3. How to measure project readiness through
live management dashboards.
4. The benefits of a single repository for
managing requirements, test cases and defects.
Watch this
Webcast and learn how requirements based testing will ensure the projects you
deliver are guaranteed to meet the needs of the
business.

Industry experts in
software risk mitigation note that 80 percent of software projects are at risk
due to creeping requirements. Therefore managing changing requirements and
scope creep must be an integral part of your development process. However, most
current market solutions are decoupled from the development process. You need a
solution that fosters collaboration between people in the business generating
requirements and the software developers building the end-product.
Join us for a look at MKS
Integrity for Requirements Management, built as part
of MKS’s end to end application lifecycle management platform. MKS Integrity
enables traceability, change, and configuration management of requirements
through every stage of the software development process and is distinctive in
its support for requirements reuse. No other requirements management vendor
offers the same level of lifecycle integration or traceability, and none
provide MKS’s sophisticated requirements reuse capabilities. See how MKS can
help you advance your requirements management practice for greater efficiency
and traceability and ultimately help you better meet the needs of the business.

Effective business requirements are not an accident. Getting them is,
however, often an accident waiting to happen. The process of gathering
and documenting the business requirements for an information technology
solution has historically been one of the most challenging and
error-prone phases of what should be a simple and straightforward step
toward delivering technology that the business community needs and
wants. This presentation by Requirements Solutions Group will give you
food for thought about the process of capturing, writing, and
confirming business requirements to make sure that they are worth
managing before they are entered into a requirements management
solution.

the business value of investing in better requirements and shows the benefits
