I Don't Need Requirements – I Know What I'm Doing! Usability as a Critical Human Factor in Requirements Management

The INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook Version 4.0 lists the word “process” 1,597 times, yet the word “people” only 65 times. This paper argues that human aspect (people) considerations are similarly underrepresented in requirements management (RM), and that RM focuses mainly on processes and products (tools). This is also reflected in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 29148:2011 abstract that refers to “provisions for the processes and products related to the engineering of requirements …”. The paper makes the case that due to the lack of human aspect considerations many requirements specifications do not meet the definition of usability, where requirement specification users can achieve their objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.
