Executive Summary
Developing sound requirements is one of the most important aspects of any software development project. When requirements are clear, concise, and comprehensive, all other aspects of the process are easier and more successful. But requirements approaches are plagued with problems. They often deliver incomplete or conflicting requirements, and they commonly deliver them in the form of lengthy documents that no one reads. The result? Project failure, cost overruns, and applications that don't fulfill customer needs. But Agile development approaches have changed the game: Agile project teams work more closely with the business and use lightweight techniques, continuous inspection, and experimentation to drive team understanding and deliver the right software. By applying Agile requirements approaches, traditional development teams can deliver more-effective solutions to their business partners while simultaneously improving relationships.
