Immediately Improve your Software Requirements by Implementing Visual Models
If business analysts give developers a list of thousands of “system shall” requirements statements, the project is doomed to fail even before code is written. The danger in delivering only a list of requirements statements is:
- It’s impossible for business analysts to ensure requirements are complete and correct
- Scope cannot be managed because the objectives behind the requirements aren’t articulated
- Developers and testers simply won’t read thousands of requirement statement
Any large volume of requirements should be modeled visually to avoid those issues. In this presentation, we will discuss the value of visual requirements models and introduces a visual language of models. We’ll give you a few impactful models you can use immediately on any project, including: models to show business processes, to describe user interface requirements, and to map requirements and models to one another to derive and manage requirements. We will also demonstrate ways to use visual requirements models together for completeness, and will provide a models “quick reference” to make it easy to start using visual models in your projects.
