eFulcrum GLOBE is an expert at soliciting not just the right requirements but all of the requirements that the Stakeholders need.

Requirements Management is the key to project success. Capturing requirements promotes collaboration within different groups within your organization, and provides your organization with an approach to control your development project. eFulcrum GLOBE utilizes requirements management tools and the RUP approach in obtaining, categorizes, controlling and evaluating your requirements. The returns on investment are listed below:  

• Controlling expenditures - customize a process to handle predictable modifications
• Customer satisfaction - interview the stakeholders and understand their needs
• Excellent communication - language / vocabulary does not impede the process
• Enhanced quality - key assets and elements are identified
• Improved control - organized approach to managing requirements

You presume you assembled all of the requirements precisely, yet something is still inaccurate, and you are not aware of where things went off track. It is likely the demands of stakeholders have gone unanswered or even undiscovered. The Stakeholder is responsible for representing an interest group whose needs must be satisfied by the project. Effectively solving any complex problem involves satisfying the needs of a diverse group of stakeholders. Typically, different interest groups (and even stakeholders) will have different perspectives on the problem and different requirements that must be addressed by the solution. Many stakeholders are users of the system. Other stakeholders are only indirect users of the system or are affected only by the business outcomes that the system influences. Many are economic buyers or champions of the system. Understanding who the stakeholders are and their particular needs are key elements in developing an effective solution.

Why Projects Fail

The Standish Group surveyed IT executive managers and asked them to categorize the origins of project failures. The responses of those surveyed as to why projects were “impaired” are listed in the table below:
