Requirements Engineering

Generally speaking, poor specification of the solution is one of the top 3 reasons why IT projects fail.

To prevent this risk, ELCA's specifications approach is:

  • Participative since all parties affected by the future system should be involved.
  • Iterative to optimize the definition of needs progressively, in terms of their quality and added value.

This process is built around the following four main activities : 

  • Elicit all needs from stakeholders  
  • Analyse needs to verify their contribution to the main goals and consider the technological impacts
  • Document the needs rigorously and unambiguously
  • Validate the specifications to ensure all stakeholders agree the document is consistent and comprehensive.

 

This pragmatic approach is founded on best practices stemming from 40 years experience in development, integration and business in general as well as from state of the art software engineering and IT process (CMMI, Hermes, RUP, agile methods).
