What is UCRequirement?

UCRequirement is both a technology product and a discipline of requirements engineering. As a requirements discipline, it redefines the requirements based on a change in the basic assumptions of enterprise software that leads to a fundamental change in the requirements process and management. This discipline transforms requirements engineering from complicated guesswork to simple scientific work that is systematic, consistent, and objective. As a requirements engineering product, it integrates different types of requirements modeling tool, ensures the coherence and consistency of all types of requirements artifacts, compile the requirements content for integrity and automates different types of report generation. It differs from current requirements engineering practices in following ways:
 
Significant requirement training cost reduction for its smaller body of knowledge than current requirement engineering texts. The best idea is the simplest idea.
Guided by theory, the practice of requirement engineering becomes objective, less depend on personal opinion, and intellectual secure.
Precise, concise and stable requirements that minimize if not eliminate rework.
 
What makes UCRequirement unique?

UCRequirement is a transformation of requirements engineering built on a new theory derived from Herbert Simon's hierarchy theory, systems thinking, and deductive logic. This transformation fundamentally changes the nature of software development and anticipates revolutionary results in terms of success and cost reduction. With UCRequirement, requirements engineering is transformed from art and guesswork to science and disciplined inquiry.


How is UCRequirement different from requirement best practices seen in the market?

Best practices are popular practices hence are more of the same. They may have some improvements but will not produce transforming results. UCRequirement incorporates a new body of knowledge that enables practitioners the ability to tap into the hart of business issues and articulate the business and software requirements precisely and concisely with subjective certainty.


Why should we use UCRequirements model?

According to Frederick Brooks, “The hardest single part of building a software system is deciding precisely what to build. No other part of the conceptual work is as difficult as establishing the detailed technical requirements, including all the interfaces to people, to machines, and to other software systems. No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if one wrong. No other part is more difficult to rectify later.” Best practices and agile methodologies do not address inherent issues of requirement difficulties and hence are not the right answers. Only UCRequirement effectively addresses the inherently abstract nature of software and makes the hardest part into an objective discipline. By adopting the discipline, your companies will increase requirement capability many folds to achieve unprecedented performance in cost reduction and customer satisfaction within a short period of time.


When should we use UCRequirement?

Consider managing software projects is like running an Olympic track race. A bad start will cost the chance of wining a medal. What it means for your projects is resource saved on useless work and intellectual rework. The best time to apply UCRequirements to your project is at the beginning of a project, even in proposal phase to define the scope of the project. A solid business model is the foundation that all other models rely on.


What is the process of using your service?

Use our two-hour onsite presentation to make sense of the new approach and then we have a conversation of how we can make your projects far better. You can also outsource your requirement phase to our company so that you can focus on development. Software solution buyers can use our services to determine project scope and articulate business requirements before hiring a software solution provider.
