Requirements Engineering
Which requirements matter most? How to prioritize requirements? Which requirements engineering tool fits best with my development environment? How to efficiently introduce a requirements engineering tool? How can I reduce the cost caused by incorrect, missing or changing requirements? How can I work better with my customers during the elicitation and specification activities?
Most requirements change during the lifetime of a product. Quality requirements such as safety, security and performance can interfere with each other. Requirements engineering is essential for successful projects and for market success. But, still, inadequate requirements engineering is the main reason for cancelled projects or projects that do not reach their goals. Enough reason to improve your requirements engineering and product management.
