TY - JOUR T1 - Moderating Characteristics of Requirements Management Tools Between Factors of Rework and Project Success AU - Adnan, Faisal AU - Haider Naqvi, Imran JO - International Journal of Soft Computing VL - 14 IS - 6 SP - 123 EP - 131 PY - 2019 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1816-9503 DO - ijscomp.2019.123.131 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=ijscomp.2019.123.131 KW - Factors of rework KW -corrective rework KW -software requirements management tools KW -retrospective rework KW -evolutionary rework KW -project success AB - This study quantified the underlying associations and critical moderating role of using software requirements management tools between factors of rework (including project planning, software requirements specifications document quality, software testing, maturity of software development life cycle approach, scope creep) and project success. The study contributed in determining the type of rework which could be avoided and how it could be avoided. The study quantified the magnitude of rework increased/reduced by factors of rework. The study dogged the underlying association of rework with project completion duration along with underlying associations of factors of rework and using software requirements management tools with rework and project success were also quantified. The study focused on using critical features of software requirements management tools to determine their role as an effective methodology for reducing the identified causes of unsuccessful software projects and rework to achieve project success.
