Requirements engineering: how do you know how good you are?
Andrew Julian Vickers, Alistair Mavin, H. May · 2003
Organisations are seeking to improve the way they undertake engineering activities. There are numerous ways of doing this, one of which is to undertake an on-going process, or capability, enhancement activity. Praxis Critical Systems Limited provides support for such activity based primarily around the REVEAL/spl reg/ requirements engineering method. By providing customised training and coaching in REVEAL/spl reg/, we aim to build up a long-term sustainable skill in the client's organisation. Both Praxis Critical Systems Limited and the client need to measure the effectiveness of the knowledge transfer. To meet this need we have developed the REVEAL/spl reg/ Competency and Assessment scheme. We discuss the steps in this process and share some experiences of using the scheme both in-house and with two major clients.
