Requirements
Software projects often overrun or expose the organisation to substantial risk due to poor requirements.
Avec has partnered with ScopeMaster®, an intelligent software requirements analyser.
ScopeMaster® reads user stories like a human and performs time-consuming analysis work for you. It parses, interprets, tests, cross-references, sizes and then reports on many aspects of your user stories.
ScopeMaster® will find, and help you fix, typically 30 – 60% of all requirements issues, which is approximately 10% of all project defects.
It will find potential problems such as ambiguities, duplicates, omissions, inconsistencies and complexities. ScopeMaster® is also the first technology ever to fully automate functional sizing from requirements.
- The impact of mistakes made early on in projects if not addressed are amplified in terms of their impact – one incorrect word in a user story is likely to negatively affect ~125 “code” words.
- Missing requirements can sometimes outnumber stated requirements meaning that a project could easily end up being twice its original size, cost more than twice the initial estimate and take more than twice as long to deliver.
- Poor quality requirements generates waste and rework that can threaten the success of a project: ambiguous, duplicate, inconsistent requirements can add significant risk.
ScopeMaster optimises requirements and ensures:
-
Faster Delivery
-
Reduced Re-work

-
Fewer Bugs
-
Lower Cost
