About

For a project manager or business systems analyst, it’s customary to meet with a project to obtain project requirements signoff. However, what invariably happens is the customer deciding they need a new set of features outside the scope of the current requirements document. This dilemma, known as “scope creep” or “feature creep” is a common project killer, and it is critical for a project manager to know how to effectively manage this situation when it occurs. To easily identify scope creep, you first need to have a really good handle on what the requirements are. Make sure you have an organized requirements management document that includes a mission statement, a background statement that includes needs, the high level features, and as many detailed requirements as possible which all map back up to the features. By producing a rich and thorough set of requirements, you can get a clean baseline of what the system needs to do which can often mitigate any upfront scope creep.

About

ScopeMaster is the world leading requirements analyser, that solves the problem of poor software requirements. Using AI, it reads, interprets, analyses, scores, sizes, diagrams and makes suggestions on how to improve your requirements or user stories. And it does all of this automatically. It truly is an amazing tool for product owners and business analysts. ScopeMaster performs valuable requirements analysis work in seconds that would normally take hours. QA. ScopeMaster helps you find and fix up to 9 different categories of potential defect in requirements, typically running a thousand tests per requirement. Sizing. Automatically sizes user stories in ISO Standards COSMIC and IFPUG function points. Test Generation. ScopeMaster generates positive and negative test cases fully traceable to requirements' functional intent.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use, graphical interface. We liked the way it can be used to validate requirements and check for duplication.
  • - Ease of use - Automated verification of requirements - Fast feedback and recommendations for how to improve requirements
  • Linked with Jira, it measures the functional size in COSMIC (ISO 19761) from the requirements, in 5 different languages (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese & Italian). It also identifies issues within the requirements, so the analysts can fix them before it reaches the developers, allowing cost savings.

Cons

  • It would be even better if ScopeMaster had an easy way to use metadata to produce function point size and provide effort and duration estimates.
  • No bad experiences with the software. It will become more powerful as there are more integrations with DevOps tools.
  • While the pricing is OK for a regular organization (for profit), it is a bit expensive for a not-for-profit organization. So far, there is no special price for educational (e.g. university student projects).
