Research clearly demonstrates that good management of requirements is the most important factor making projects successful. Yet until recently, this was a relatively neglected area academically and industrially. Starting from theory developed within the European Space Agency, a British company (QSS) has become the world leader in supplying tools and consultancy, growing from 2 to 200 people in 6 years. Richard Stevens will be talking about the principles behind requirements management, and extending this into systems thinking and the principles of managing innovation. Case studies of industrial interaction with companies such as Motorola, Pitney Bowes, and the MOD will be provided.
