Good software requirements clearly define what your software must do to meet organization and customer needs. Good requirements keep teams focused, efficient and productive.

Poorly defined software requirements inevitably result in:

	Costly rework to meet customer expectations		Frustration and infighting over feature changes
	Compromised product quality		Lost credibility and opportunities
	Delayed projects		Lost revenue or undermined profitability

How can these challenges be answered, or better yet, never emerge at all? Good software requirements practices.

Good requirements are the foundation for a successful project or product. A good approach to gathering requirements creates a collaborative environment where customers, stakeholders and developer function effectively together. Good requirements are needed for there to be alignment between business objectives and technical priorities, this leads to more informed business decision making, reliable project delivery dates, controlled project costs, and satisfied customers. For the business this can translate into enhanced market competitiveness.

The reality is that requirements are only hard to do when you aren’t equipped with the right techniques and practices. Proper project planning and control is not possible without sound and reliable requirements.
