Requirements Gathering  

Up to 50% of project rework is attributable to problems with requirements, and of projects that fail, 70% fail due to poor requirements

Poorly executed requirements gathering causes:

  • Needs get lost in the translation between the initial request and final output
  • Stakeholders don't see the value in the methodologies and work around the process
  • Inconsistent project execution which leads to inconsistent outcomes
  • Risk making unnecessary purchases without a clear understanding of the requirements

Well executed requirements gathering results in:

  • Consistent approach from project to project, resulting in more predictable outcomes.
  • Solutions that meet the business need, both on the surface and deep down
  • Reduced risk on fast-track projects by establishing a right-sized approach
  • Build a requirements team that can drive process improvement and improved execution
