The importance of requirements in software development

Good requirements management and clearly defined requirements are the basis of a successful software project. Clear priorities enable project teams to pull together and avoid conflicting goals. Coupled with precise formulations, uncertainties can be prevented and risks reduced.

However, the trick is not only to put a requirement in a good starting position, but also to understand the journey of a requirement, to be able to accompany it through the entire development process and to skillfully follow up again and again. This coin has two sides, the target group-oriented preparation on the sender side and the adaptation, requests and appropriate implementation on the recipient side. Through skillful cooperation, added value can be achieved that actually helps the stakeholders.

Better requirements with requirements engineering

The aim of this module is to equip architects with sufficient requirements knowledge so that they can make informed architectural decisions based on the actual needs of stakeholders. They should either know how to elicit requirements (in agile and iterative approaches), or at least know what to ask of others in their environment.
