Did you know that around 70% of IT projects are not delivered within the three cardinal projects parameters i.e., time, budget, and resource? The main reason is failure to understand customer stated needs. A Requirements CoE is an internal group focused on optimizing the quality of requirements produced for all software development projects, ensuring that the requirements reflect true business needs and that they can provide the basis for efficient and effective product development.
At iNovate, we will assist your organization define and implement standards, processes, and best practices for requirements engineering and management for your organization. The main goal of an RCoE is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of requirements engineering and management activities, as well as to increase the quality of the resulting products and services.
Our approach & process
- Identify the objectives and goals of the RCoE
- Define the scope and charter of the RCoE
- Establish a governance model for the RCoE
- Develop and implement standards, processes, and best practices for RCoE
- Set up a training and education program for the RCoE
- Establish metrics and performance measurement processes
- Continuously review and improve the RCoE
Benefits of implementing RCoE
- Cost Savings– Early error detection and correction dramatically reduces rework
- Efficiencies – Consolidation of disparate requirements initiatives
- Reduced Time to Market.– Reduced rework results in finished products sooner
- Product Predictability– Early error detection reduces risk, improving predictability
- Quality – Higher quality requirements and automatically generated inputs for Developers and Testers means less rework and higher quality results.
- Rapid Improvement – Requirements investments are leveraged across the organization much faster.
