EXPLORING CAUSES OF REQUIREMENT CHANGE

Software development process is dynamic in nature and it has contrasting impact on software development based on Return on Investment (ROI). It plays an important role in successful software development and can also create difficulties during the software construction in terms of increasing effort, schedule and cost. Factors of changing requirements, prediction of requirement change and the strategies to deal with them are needed to be analyzed for better management of requirement change. Regardless of all research efforts based on requirement change, there is still a need to analyze the factors of requirement change from industrial evidences to minimize its negative impact on software development. The aim of study is to highlight main and sub causes of requirement change that can disrupt software development process.
