Challenge

How inefficient requirements analysis becomes a development risk

A structured and consistent requirements analysis is crucial for product success. However, many companies struggle with opaque processes, media discontinuity, and a lack of traceability.

  • Lack of common understanding: Requirements are interpreted differently, leading to misunderstandings in the development process.
  • Inefficient recording: Requirements are not recorded systematically but documented in unstructured formats.
  • Lack of traceability: The relationships between requirements, functions, and tests often remain unclear.
  • Isolated methods: QFD, test planning, and system modeling are not interconnected.
  • Time lost in coordination: Without a central database, transparency is lacking and coordination takes too long.
  • High documentation effort: Reports, specifications, and test documentation tie up unnecessary resources.

Without structured requirements analysis, the risk of costly rework, missed deadlines, and faulty products increases.

Solution

Ensure clarity, traceability, and efficiency in the requirements process

With our solution, you can establish a common understanding of all requirements – systematically, consistently, and easily comprehensible. This saves you coordination effort, reduces sources of failure, and accelerates your product development.

  • Clear structure: You systematically record requirements and ensure that all parties involved have a common understanding.
  • Central database: All parties involved have access to the same, up-to-date information at all times – without Excel lists or manual data maintenance.
  • Early detection: You can identify gaps, redundancies, or contradictions as early as the planning phase of the project.
  • Linked methods: Established requirements analysis methods such as QFD, FMEA, or DVP&R are consistently networked.
  • Automated documentation: You can create standardized and time-saving specifications, requirements documents, or test reports directly in the system.
  • Full traceability: Keep track of how requirements develop at all times – including history and traceability networks.

Our requirements analysis software with integrated traceability supports you in achieving complete traceability across all project phases and creates the basis for successful products.
