We probably can all agree that defining functional and non-functional requirements are the most critical elements of a project’s success or failure. Reducing specification requirements errors is the single most effective action we can take to improve project outcomes. The approach I propose is inexpensive and mitigates much of the risk associated with defects and errors early in the development life cycle.
