Our method
Our method
The Needs Analysis method is an integral part of Value Management in accordance with the EN 12973 standard. It is based on:
- A preparatory phase involving the contracting party and the project manager, defining the goals and scope of the Needs Analysis
- A working group phase – involving customers (or their in-house representatives), contracting party and project manager representatives and in-house specialists – to describe the needs, identify the project’s environment, constraints and risks, clarify the functional and physical scope, identify the various possible options, evaluate the project’s profitability, prepare a schedule etc.
- The delivery of a report providing all the information exchanged during the preliminary study so that functional specifications can be drafted
Our approach
A good project definition results from a good needs definition: The Needs Analysis is thus a fundamental stage of the project, involving everyone in its content and the performance expected. This is why our consultancy approach is based on:
- Understanding the specific features of your business sector and the demands of your customers
- Involving all the players in your project, including the voices of both external and internal customers
- Challenging every aspect of the project to ensure an accurate, complete project definition and prepare for the decision on whether to commit
- Reaching a consensus on the definition and the expected performance of the project through the commitment of everyone involved
