Effizientes Requirements Management für Ihre Software-Projekte

Well-documented requirements form the basis for successful software development projects. This applies not only to requirements specifications and functional specifications as classic software specifications, but also and especially to agile backlogs filled with user stories.

In both approaches and everything in between, managing requirements is a challenge when the number of requirements grows over the course of a project – and a frequent source of errors: Unidentified duplicates and contradictions, incompleteness and ambiguities in the requirements, lack of prioritization and scope definition, or poor traceability lead in practice to both requirements engineering activities and all related activities such as software architecture design, user experience design, and development suffering from gradually deteriorating efficiency. Conflicts are identified late, causing unrest in teams and expensive rework – and, above all, delays in releases. We observe this both in internal in-house developments and in externally commissioned development services.

Building on 30 years of experience in software engineering, practice-oriented research on requirements engineering methods, and countless successfully completed projects with small businesses and global corporations, Fraunhofer IESE is the ideal partner to support you in requirements management.

We take care of requirements management for you so that you can concentrate on the actual content of your innovations. We use state-of-the-art methods and tools that can achieve efficiency gains of 25% or more in requirements management.

Our support for your requirements management processes is based on our expertise in requirements engineering and its application in industry. In addition, we use technologies to make this expertise available to you efficiently and effectively: Our AI-based approaches include the automated testing of requirements with regard to a wide range of quality criteria in order to further increase efficiency in requirements engineering.

Requirements management, which is optionally supported by artificial intelligence and large language models, is individually expanded by us as needed to meet your internal quality specifications or, if applicable, the legal requirements applicable to your industry.
