Abstract

The search of mission critical software requirements for organization of medium or large sizes should be accompanied by a process that ensures that the scope will fully cover the needs of all areas of the organization. This can be achieved through the establishment of a work methodology that allows technical resources. These technical resources include analysts and stakeholders who will make unified decisions regarding the implementation of software requirements that fully address the total needs of the organization. These decisions also include aspects such as the technical assessment of requirement feasibility, identification of user expectations and analysis of the impact and risk at the time of implementation, which will enable stakeholders to make assertive decisions, oriented towards benefits for the organization.
