More Information about the ARCWAY Map Concept

The comprehensive route from business process analysis to requirement specifications.

The most frequent reason for the failure of IT projects: specialist department requirements are not correctly recorded or they are incorrect or not implemented at all.

Why?

Specialist departments think and speak about process procedures while IT departments speak about systems, classes, applications and databases. There is no common language with which all issues relevant to the specification of IT projects can be discussed.

This is where Business Process-driven Requirements Engineering (BPRE) comes into play. It defines a comprehensive and, above all, comprehensible route from business process analysis to specification of IT projects.

For this purpose, BPRE integrates visual models of business processes, specialist and application maps which show the project from the specialist and IT departments’ point of view. On the basis of these models, it is possible to discuss problems in a comprehensible way and to derive requirements.

BPRE also provides unrivaled advantages in requirement management. Incorporation into the visual models results in a cohesive picture of the requirements.

The quality of requirement specifications increases: the origins of requirements and the mutual dependencies which exist become clear. The number of subsequent changes in projects resulting from ambiguous requirements is reduced and trackable prioritization becomes possible.
