The IIBA webinar, led by expert Ln Mishra, focuses on the challenges of gathering critical non-functional requirements (NFRs) in software development, especially in agile environments, and discusses best practices to avoid missing these requirements. Critical requirements are defined as those that, if overlooked, can lead to major project impacts, including potentially its cancellation. The session emphasizes the importance of stakeholder awareness and the development of comprehensive lists and templates for capturing both functional and non-functional requirements.

- 6. Why so many software projects suffer so much agony?
- 7. Somehow “Critical” requirements are missed during requirements engineering activities.
- 8. Surprisingly, this is more likely to happen in Agile mode of working.
- 9. What are “Critical” requirements? • Requirements which when MISSED can cause SIGNIFICANT CHANGES to projects including it’s CANCELLATION. © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 9
- 10. Typical “Critical” requirements • Legal requirements. • Non-functional requirements. • Requirements from powerful stakeholders. © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 10
- 11. Why NFRs are “Critical” requirements? • NFRs are likely to have much more impact on application architecture than functional requirements. © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 11
- 12. Why NFRs are difficult to capture? • To obtain right NFRs, stakeholder(s) must have long term view of the application – This is difficult and gets over-looked due to short term project goals. • NFRs increase application cost, so stakeholders may ignore NFRs even if they know the NFRs. • Most stakeholders have very limited understanding of NFRs. © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 12
- 13. What can we do in such a situation? • Make stakeholders aware the implications of ignoring NFRs • Design alternatives which allows us the flexibility but not necessarily incorporate all NFRs • Create a comprehensive list of NFRs © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 13
- 14. Develop a comprehensive Checklist for NFRs
- 15. What about other critical requirements? • Design comprehensive requirements templates for high level and low level requirements. © 2006 – 16 AdaptiveProcesses.com Requirements excellence! 15
