Tags:
software engineering

Overview Managing requirements offers many benefits, both tangible and intangible. This webinar will present an economic value model that can be used to quantify the tangible benefits of implementing sound requirements management principles in terms of costs avoided and associated productivity gains. Savings are assessed specifically in terms of three key benefits: effective communication, reduced requirements errors, and increased efficiencies that result from effective requirements management practices. The model is configurable to allow for the measurement of ROI based on a company's own business drivers.
