Several strategies to transform the current PD process into a lean process are discussed. Besides the two-phase improvement plan‚ a new organizational structure roadmap and a human resources plan are also suggested to support the recommended

How to get Software Requirements right Abstract The importance of getting the software requirement right has made big difference to so many major projects in the IT industry. Many techniques and solutions have been developed for understanding and getting software requirements right first time in the software development life cycle‚ but fewer people are taking these techniques into account and this is the reason why most of the IT projects are failing. I define here how to get software requirements
