TLDR
A great start for fixing this long-standing software development crisis is with requirements; the authors must fully understand what they are developing before they can develop the right product for their customers.
Abstract
Regardless of which report you read, the battle cry is loud and clear "Projects are failing more often than they are successful. Something must be done!" But what? That's the million dollar question. A great start for fixing this long-standing software development crisis is with requirements; we must fully understand what we are developing before we can develop the right product for our customers. Readers will probably shake their head and say "Of course we do " but statistics show that even though this seems to be a "no brainer" we still aren't doing it.
