Abstract

The dynamism and variability of the software industry makes it necessary to rethink the bases and practices that support the development of conventional software. The current market is characterized by the rapid development of applications and the reduction of the life of products. In this variable and unstable context it is required as a competitive advantage to increase productivity and meet the changing needs of customers in the shortest possible time to provide greater value to the business. Against this background, it is worth reflecting on the of adapting conventional methodologies to these circumstances. The normative character and the strong reliance on pre-development planning that define methodologies that they are too complex to meet the needs of the current software market. Among the characteristics of the agile approach can be expressed that generally impel a project management that promotes teamwork, organization and responsibility itself, a group of good software engineering practices that provide fast delivery high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with needs of the client and the objectives of the company. Taking into account the above, it is necessary to have a tool that allows managing in an agile and reliable way the information inherent to the requirements defined within the execution of a project framed under agile methodologies; in such a way, that it is possible to obtain the information that allows to carry out a traceability and the generation of indicators for the taking of decisions regarding the execution of the stage of requirements specifically.
