Requirements Analysis
IT professionals are often frustrated by delivering applications that fail to satisfy customer expectations. This occurs most often because needs and requirements were not adequately understood and captured prior to execution. Successful project outcomes are founded in the ability to identify, articulate, and mutually agree upon the end result before beginning. Genova’s premier requirements analysis methodology creates a functional specification that captures and qualifies all customer requirements, while effectively eliminating costly, "gold-plated" features.
This comprehensive process allows customers to agree upon an optimal outcome and track progress from the requirements document: through development, documentation, testing, and release. This proven methodology helps eliminate scope creep, reduces risks, and provides customer control over costs, consistently delivering projects on specification, on time, and on budget.
Based upon direct experience with Genova’s valuable requirements analysis process, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Office of Information Services (OIS) asked Genova to author the CMS Requirements Writer’s Guide as well as the Agency’s requirements document template.
