Defining the Requirements
You have the big vision: now you need the specific business and operational requirements of your new product fully defined. During the requirements definition phase, Lionbridge pros work with your teams to eliminate ambiguity and refine:
- Business and operational processes
- Solid use cases
- Functional requirements
- Nonfunctional requirements like:
- Security
- Performance
- Scalability
- Standards compliance
- Maintainability
- The cost-recovery roadmap
- The development culture: Agile, Waterfall, or a blend of strategies
Often we help our clients re-work an existing product to align it with current market needs and correct "feature drift." Such products have evolved in complex directions over many years, sprouting remarkable new features and interfaces—each of which had an immediate purpose and each of which went through an individual requirements definition phase—while the overall business and operational processes became confused. Along the way, the product may also have lost essentials like scalability, flexibility, maintainability, and a consistent security model.
If you're considering a shift to Service-Oriented Architectures, SaaS, and Web 2.0 strategies, this phase should be accompanied by a complete business process analysis as well as traditional use-case definition.
Let Lionbridge help you create a fully-realized requirements document, coupled with a change management plan that will guide product evolution for years to come.
