Requirements mastered
The requirements in the area of requirement management increase permanently because of rising complexity and increasing customer orientation. The assumption for a reliable estimation of requirements, change requests and requirements creep is a standardized procedure while higher flexibility. Cost Xpert offers a practice-oriented solution with the objective of reliable estimation any application to any point of time in project – also based on inaccurate/incomplete requirements (creep) and continuously changing requirements and project conditions.
 
 
Transparency about impacts of system requirements and change requests
Already in the proposal phase, our customers obtain complete transparency about all hard and soft facts as well as their impact on effort, schedule and costs at each point in time during project run.
Exact differentiation of the system requirements and change requests in regard to effort, time, and costs
Standardized approaches and systematic consideration of requirements and change requests enables the exact differentiation of the requirements. The measurement of the requirements will be ensured through the implementation of project specific metrics.
Reliable estimation even in an early phase
To increase the security in planning Cost Xpert offers the feature of beta-distribution (best, expected and worst). This enables the input of requirements within a range. Thus, ensures the consideration of the likely number of requirements and a quantity deviation up and down.
Security and transparency in planning in a high quality while mitigation risks
Systematical analyses and assessments of requirements and change requests enable the implementation of a standardized procedure at our customers. Baselining enables the visualization about impacts of change requests on the results of estimates. This allows comparing different requirements statuses.
High flexibility through initial or further estimation prior and/or during project run
The systematic application of methodologies and standardized approaches ensures estimations to any point of time ensure the constant adjustment to changing basis conditions with high time and resource savings.
 
IME enables the fast and sure handling of requirements (creep) and change requests to any point of time in any IT application and ensures our customers fast and customer-oriented actions in changing markets. This ensures reliable results of estimation while significant shortening of estimation process while increasing estimation accuracy.
 
Our expertise enables solutions to following questions of our customers:
  • How can requirements systematically categorized and managed?
  • How can change requests and requirements be managed surely?
  • How can the estimation be improved in the early phase?
  • How can incomplete/inaccurate requirements be considered?
  • How can the initiale estimation and the estimation during the project run be ensured?
  • What impacts have requirements (creep) and change requests on effort, time and costs?
Fast, easy, sure and reliable estimations to any point of time in project.
