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
Better Quality
Reduced Project Risk
Fewer Bugs
Lower Cost
Happier Teams
In addition to the specific benefits offered by ScopeMaster, AVEC integrates its outputs into other mechanisms to address the following challenges:
