Author :
Ebert, Christof ; Jastram, Michael
Abstract :
The primary sources of project risks and product problems are poor, missing, or changing requirements. Often, the underlying root cause is insufficient collaboration between business partners. This article provides insight into how to effectively collaborate in requirements engineering. We describe the Requirements Interchange Format (ReqIF) standard and technologies for seamless requirements development and management. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective column authors about this and the technologies and tools you want to know more about.
