Requirements Management with Use Cases

In 1994, the Standish Group found that the top 3 factors that caused project failure were lack of user input, incomplete requirements and changing requirements. Requirements management is a systematic approach to eliciting, organizing and documenting requirements. As a discipline it helps in establishing and maintaining agreement between the customer and the project team on the changing requirements of the system.

The requirements management approach is significantly improved when combined with Use Cases. Use Cases are a popular and widely used approach for capturing and communicating functional requirements from a user’s point of view. They are part of the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and therefore part of the Object Management Group standard.

By incorporating Use Cases into a disciplined requirements management process, a practitioner is armed with a robust approach to overcoming the problems identified by the Standish Group
