Establishing the Business Context
IEEE defines requirements in terms of the ability to solve a problem. Analysis and definition of the business problem or opportunity is fundamental to requirements and project success. Only if we have successfully performed this vital first step can we be sure that we solving the right problem. We can discover if anyone else is working on the same problem, or has already solved it. We will better understand the sort of project team and approach that will be necessary.
Our consultants can help you define an approach to problem definition that includes the following:
- Problem analysis
- Options and approaches for a solution
- Establishing effective working relationships to project management
- Lifecycle approaches: do you prefer waterfall, unified process or Agile?
- Helping to define the business case
- Risks and assumptions
