Software Requirements: 10 Traps to Avoid

Featuring Karl E. Wiegers, Consultant, Process Impact, and Author of "Software Requirements, 2nd Edition"

Successful software projects are built on a foundation of well-understood requirements. However, many development organizations get caught in traps that prevent them from effectively collecting, documenting, or managing their requirements. This presentation describes ten typical requirements problems that can sabotage your project. Several symptoms that indicate you might be getting caught in each trap are described, along with suggestions for avoiding or escaping from the trap.

The requirements traps discussed are:

Confusion about what a requirement is
Inadequate customer involvement
Vague and ambiguous requirements
Unprioritized requirements
Building functionality no one uses
Analysis paralysis
Scope creep
Inadequate requirements change process
Insufficient change impact analysis
Inadequate requirements version control
