According to Dr. Marasco, requirements errors are the number one cause of software project failures, yet many organizations continue to create requirements specifications that are unclear, ambiguous, and incomplete. The problem is that requirements quality often gets lost in translation between business people who think in words and software architects and engineers who prefer visual models. In his session, Dr. Marasco will discuss the weak links in the requirements development cycle of elicitation, analysis, validation, and specification, as well as tactics for avoiding errors and ensuring quality in the face of continual change.
