In Great Requirements are Free, Keith Ellis shows how effective requirements gathering and definition can dramatically reduce the costs of projects while greatly increasing the likelihood of success. He points out that a bit more money spent at the requirements stage is a small part of the overall costs but makes a significant contribution to cost saving in the larger scheme of things. These points are demonstrated with examples and case studies that show the steep premium that companies pay for poor requirements. It also points that correcting these problems at an early stage is critical.

In The Executive Guide to Evaluating Requirements Quality, Keith Ellis shows you how to scan business requirements documentation, in any format, and determine if it is likely going to lead to an effective implementation.  This discussion focuses on why certain information needs to be readily available, the structure of good requirements, and the key questions to ask when doing a fast evaluation.  He not only describes how to scan documentation, but the cost of the errors to your project if you’ve found problems.  This session is designed for the members on project steering committees that want simple, practical methods for evaluating the risk in business requirements.
