For each requirement that is incorrectly specified, companies can pay 50 to 200 times as much to correct it later in the project. Construx's practical experts can help to ensure that customer needs are gathered and translated up front into an accurate specification of what the system must do. By doing this, we maximize each client's chance of meeting schedule, cost, and product objectives.
Requirements work is not as simple as writing down what key users want the software to do. We know that the most difficult part of requirements gathering is not the act of recording what the users want. Rather, it is the exploratory, developmental activity of helping users figure out what they want. We know how to help you determine what is really needed.

One of the ways we commonly help our customers is by facilitating a Requirements Workshop. By having Construx facilitate your requirements workshop, you avoid risks associated with:
- Incomplete or inadequate definition of project needs and scope, which make project planning and management difficult
- Overlooking certain user classes which leads to dissatisfied customers
- Requirements creep which contributes to schedule and cost overruns
- Ambiguous requirements that lead to misinterpretations and cause defects and later rework
This workshop is a facilitated working session that involves key project stakeholders and is designed to achieve consensus on the project's critical requirements. Getting the critical requirements settled early and quickly puts your project on the road to success. |
Construx also works with companies to review existing requirements, implement new requirements practices, and coach business analysts in the use of requirements best practices.
