An Analysis of Requirements-Related Problems that Occurred in an organization Using a Mature Requirements Engineering Process
Michael C. Panis · 2020
Plenty has been written on the necessary elements of a requirements engineering (RE) process. When an organization experiences product development problems and is found to lack an effective RE process, it is relatively easy to find potential causes for the problems. For example, changes may not have been managed, or requirements and other artifacts may not have been traced to each other. Nevertheless, what can be said of RE process failures that occur despite an organization's using a reasonably mature RE process? This paper will examine a set of RE-related problems that occurred in one such organization. It will also describe a solution that has been proposed to avoid such problems in the future.
