kravgennemgang

Kravgennemgang, often translated as requirements review or requirements walkthrough, is a process in software engineering and product development used to examine and validate requirements documentation. The primary goal is to identify defects, ambiguities, inconsistencies, and omissions in the requirements before development begins. This proactive approach aims to reduce the cost of change later in the development lifecycle by catching errors early.

During a kravgennemgang, a group of stakeholders, including developers, testers, business analysts, and end-users, gather to systematically review the requirements. This can take various forms, from informal peer reviews to structured walkthroughs with defined roles and checklists. The participants discuss each requirement, asking clarifying questions and pointing out potential issues. This collaborative effort ensures a shared understanding of what needs to be built and helps to ensure that the requirements accurately reflect the needs of the users and the business.

The benefits of conducting a kravgennemgang include improved quality of the final product, reduced development costs due to fewer late-stage changes, increased stakeholder satisfaction, and better communication among team members. It is considered a critical quality assurance step in many development methodologies, contributing to the overall success of a project by ensuring that the foundation of the project – its requirements – is sound and well-defined.
