Modern Requirements Management: How Collaboration & Integrated Test have changed the rules of the game

Close to half of all products are behind schedule, and one of top impediments to on-time delivery is the growing complexity in distributed organization and supply chains, within their products, and across a network of interrelated and interdependent products. As more organizations need to demonstrate compliance to process standards, deliver consistent software security and quality standards and verify requirements traceability, it’s increasingly clear that in-house or ad-hoc tools are inadequate for modern requirements management.

Innovators are ahead of the curve. They understand the market forces brought forth by social, mobile, the cloud and Agile — and they stave off disruption by adapting to the current landscape. They rely on a new breed of tools that foster collaboration, iteration, agility and engagement. They see requirements as the core to product success; making sure everyone across the entire ecosystem knows what is to be built, for whom, and why. They know that to build the right products, fast, they need to rethink their strategy for requirements management.
