Requirements Engineering

Requirements have to be defined as exact as possible in order to guarantee that the chosen software optimally supports the company’s or the respective project’s goals. Companies often lack a clearly structured way of processing, even though this is a necessary basis for solid software development.

How are requirements defined and managed? How is sufficiency and consistency being ensured? How is result-oriented communication between all participants supported?

adesso developed "PITPM", a process model for requirements engineering, which clusters the best practices from many years of experience in this field.
