Requirements & Alignment
Turning Ideas into Action
In an era of rapid technological advancement, businesses often struggle to define and align on the core requirements for new products, processes, or AI-driven solutions. Misaligned goals, unclear objectives, and poorly documented needs can lead to costly delays, ineffective solutions, and missed opportunities. Flow Performance’s Requirements Definition & Alignment service leverages Lean, Six Sigma, and deep nuclear expertise to ensure your ideas are grounded in clarity, precision, and stakeholder buy-in. Whether designing a new product, improving a process, or implementing AI, we help you capture, define, and align on the essential requirements to drive success.
Challenges in Requirements Definition
- Misaligned Stakeholders: Competing priorities and unclear objectives lead to fragmented efforts.
- Poorly Defined Requirements: 47% of IT projects fail due to poorly defined requirements (PMI, 2023).
- AI Integration Challenges: The introduction of AI requires precise business requirements, yet 60% of organizations struggle to define them effectively (Gartner, 2023).
- Lack of Documentation: Tribal knowledge and informal processes hinder scalability and compliance.
- Inefficient Processes: Without Lean and Six Sigma principles, process changes often lack structure and measurable outcomes.
