Specify

Introduction

DEFINITION

Specify is the ability to define clear and detailed requirements, use cases, functionalities, and user stories for software development.

BUSINESS IMPACT

  • Enhanced clarity in project objectives and deliverables.
  • Improved alignment with user needs and expectations.
  • Reduced development errors and rework.
  • Faster and more efficient development cycles.

Assessment

FLASH

Is there a clear and consistent process for gathering and documenting software requirements in your organization?

KEY QUESTIONS

  • How well do your requirements align with user needs and business objectives?
  • Are use cases detailed enough to guide development efforts effectively?
  • Is functionalities documentation comprehensive and accessible?
  • Are user stories used to drive development tasks and priorities?

Maturity

Thriving

  • Requirements drive customer satisfaction and innovation.
  • Use cases result in market-leading products.
  • Functionalities documentation sets industry standards.
  • User stories are a central part of development and optimization efforts.

Leverage specifications as accelerators for architecture flows and test automation assets.

Mastering

  • Clear and detailed requirements align with user needs and business objectives.
  • Use cases are comprehensive and guide development effectively.
  • Functionalities documentation is accessible and well-documented.
  • User stories are an integral part of development efforts.

Continuously refine your specification processes and prioritize user feedback.

Modeling

  • Requirements exist but may lack alignment with user needs.
  • Use cases are created but may lack detail.
  • Functionalities documentation is basic.
  • User stories are used inconsistently.

Invest in training and resources to improve specification quality.

Missing

  • Lack of clear and detailed requirements.
  • Use cases are minimal or nonexistent.
  • Functionalities are poorly documented.
  • User stories are not used effectively in development.

Implement a standardized process for requirements gathering and documentation.
