Requirements are perhaps the most important type of project information for most projects.
It doesn't really matter if you were on-time, on-buget with zero defects, but did not deliver what was actually needed.
Make sure your projects do the right thing.
Proper requirements analysis and management is the most fundamental project discipline to get right demanding the right skills and tools. Requirements provide the structure and direction for most projects, and drive the entire project process. Capturing and collaborating on project requriements, whether user stories, use cases, functional requirements or business level constraints simply has to be done right for project success.
Everyone knows that incomplete or inaccurate requirements is a leading cause of project failure. That's why efficient, collaborative requirements tools are so important.
This is central strength of Projectricity supporting world-class project information collaboration among team members worldwide. Traceability among requirements is key, but comprehensive project wide traceability is even more powerful when extended to other types of project information such as change requests, defects, tasks, test cases and documents.
