The causes of the majority of failed information
technology (IT) projects can be traced to poor
definition and understanding of requirements.
Changing requirements create more delays
than any other factor. If you want to improve
project performance, you must improve the
way you define and manage requirements .
They are the bridge between the customer who
will describe, pay for, and use the system, and
the technical community who will specify and
provide the system .
