MEASURING REQUIREMENTS COMPLEXITY TO INCREASE THE PROBABILITY OF PROJECT SUCCESS
Holly Parsons-Hann, Kecheng Liu · 2005
Abstract: The widespread adoption of Information Technology has helped reduce market problems caused by geographical separation and allow collaboration between organisations who are physically distributed around the globe. However, despite the successful strategic benefits brought by the evolution of the Internet and other web based services, this has not led to a higher project success rate. The biggest reason for project failure is cited as ‘incomplete requirements ’ which suggests that research must be done into the requirements analysis to solve this reoccurring problem. This paper aims to highlight and analyse the current work done in the software complexity and requirements engineering field and demonstrate how measuring requirements complexity will lead to less project failures.
