Recognizing and Controlling Requirement Risk

---

Practical Safety Tactics for Building Your Control Strategy

Learn how to:

• Understand the nature of requirements risk and the need to control it
• Avoid requirements-based failures by reconfirming needs and feasibility, managing customer expectations, prioritizing requirements, and incrementally committing to a project
• Mitigate the impact of requirements-based defects by requiring frequent demos, decoupling vision from build, and prototyping the unfamiliar
• Minimize communication problems using rich definitions, algebraic formulas, user personas, and spec patterns
• Monitor requirements status by tracking requirements instability and growth, the accuracy of assumptions, and stakeholder participation
• Identify unclear, imprecise, and missing information using requirements analysis and reviews
• Staff for requirements development by building a cross-functional team
• Plan for requirements risk management by eliciting meta-requirements, by brainstorming risks, risk indicators, and root causes, and by developing a requirements risk management strategy
• Prepare for requirements risk management by formulating a baseline requirements development process, providing tools, developing defect and root cause profiles, and conducting requirements retrospectives
