Why Excel & Word Are Wrong Tools, and
Why 100+ Companies Just Like You Use Accompa
|
| When it comes to managing your requirements, Excel and Word are the easy choice. They are readily available and you already know how to use them. But they are the wrong tools for this task. Why? Using such "general purpose" software to manage your requirements leads to: |
- Incomplete
Requirements
- As these are general-purpose tools, it is very hard to gather requirements in a structured fashion. This often leads to incomplete requirements - a top cause for project failures in a large study by the Standish Group.
- Incorrect Requirements
- Requirements documents created using Excel/Word usually are stored on the author's computer, and are not accessible by others in real-time.
- This makes it harder to discuss, validate, and track changes - often leading to incorrect requirements.
- Lost Requirements
- Most importantly - it is very easy for requirements to drop through the cracks when using Excel/Word to manage them. Even critical requirements can be lost when the author forgets, is reassigned, or leaves your organization.
|
 Incomplete, incorrect and lost requirements lead to LOST DEALS & UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS WHO DEFECT - without you even knowing it is caused by the wrong tools.
Furthermore, using tools like Excel and Word to manage your requirements consumes a lot of time, and TAKES VALUABLE TIME AWAY from higher-value activities.
Due to largely similar reasons, Engineering & Sales teams at most companies do NOT use Excel & Word to track their issues and opportunities - they use tools built for that particular task. You too can prevent these losses and save valuable time by choosing the right tool to manage your requirements. |
How to Get the Right Tool |
| Gartner, the leading independent market research organization, says the following: |

"Requirements management can be simplified if initial requirements definitions are captured in a database-based tool to enable collaborative review... traceability and versioning/change control" |
