4 How do you report requirement quality?

To report requirement quality, you need to use appropriate metrics and indicators that show the status and progress of your requirements. For example, you should consider requirement volatility (the number and percentage of changes to your requirements over time), requirement coverage (the extent to which your requirements cover the scope and objectives of your project), requirement defects (the number and severity of errors or issues found in your requirements), and requirement satisfaction (the level of agreement and approval of your requirements by your stakeholders). You can use a variety of tools and formats to report requirement quality, such as dashboards, charts, graphs, tables, reports, and presentations. It's important to tailor your reports to your audience and purpose, while providing clear and concise information and recommendations.

5 How do you improve requirement quality?

To ensure the highest quality requirements, you must adopt a continuous improvement approach that involves planning, monitoring, evaluating, and adjusting your requirements activities. This should include involving stakeholders early and often in the requirements process, using appropriate elicitation and analysis techniques to gather and document your requirements, applying quality criteria and standards to your requirements, conducting regular and timely validation and verification activities, managing and controlling changes to your requirements, and seeking feedback and learning from mistakes. Moreover, reporting requirement quality is essential for any business analyst as it helps demonstrate the value of their work and ensure a high-quality product or service that meets stakeholder expectations.
