How to improve quality and chance to succeed software project? We need really good person to business analysis role and only one. More than one person in a first stage, mean more problem with merging parts to one completed and unambiguous requirements document :

Disciplined agile, what is it? Using models in agile, why and for what? Modern system analysis and design is not a waterfall and not a agile style? It is science method used for software engineering . Discover the MDA and patterns as a wand for your success in software projects. See the system as a architecture .
