Requirements gathering and analysis
We interview stakeholders and facilitate ideation workshops to gather business, user, and functional requirements. Then, we map solution features, carry out a detailed analysis to identify key requirements, collaborate with stakeholders to prioritize and validate them, support technical feasibility validation.
Scope definition and decomposition
Our team breaks down the project scope into manageable phases and milestones, develops and maintains a scope management plan, and identifies and documents assumptions, dependencies, and constraints within the project scope.
Change management and impact analysis
We monitor and manage changes in requirements, conduct analysis to assess the effects of changes on scope, timeline, and resources, and facilitate change request processes and stakeholder communication to minimize disruption.
Our deliverables
Software requirements specification (up-to-date solution requirements for support, estimation, and development), solution vision, value proposition map, MVP scope, defined features, prioritized backlog, solution implementation roadmap, SWOT analysis, benchmarking, service blueprints, and option comparison report.
Imagine how much smoother and less stressful product development could be if all requirements were clearly elicited, captured, and documented in a format that perfectly suits your team.
Imagine how much more effectively your team could work with clear, well-elaborated, and accessible documentation maintained for everyone.
For startups, it means achieving a better product-market fit and faster time-to-market. For SMEs and enterprises, it ensures effective change management with an actionable plan, established risk mitigation processes, and seamless communication across stakeholders and teams.
For everyone, it means data-driven decision-making that keeps you out of the build trap. That’s the power of embracing effective requirements management.
Lack of estimates or clear requirements early on
You have a product idea but lack accurate estimates for budgeting and timelines, as well as detailed requirements for design and development.
Complex projects
You face challenges in managing a project with complex logic, multiple stakeholders, and high iteration costs.
Uncertain product-market fit
You are uncertain whether your product truly meets user needs and addresses your business problems
Inefficient workflow
There are frequent redesigns, rework, and constant back-and-forth communication that cause inefficiencies in your design and development teams.
Delayed feature releases
Development teams struggle to release features on time, affecting overall project schedules.
Underperforming features
New features fail to work as intended or not drive the expected user engagement, leading to a lack of ROI.
Uncertain product performance
You can’t assess whether your product has improved over the past year, making it challenging to measure progress and success.
Strategic planning challenges
You can’t decide whether to invest in changes to an existing product or to develop a new one, which impacts strategic planning and resource allocation.

Project management was perfect. They were spot on with the budget and product delivery predictions. Organizations are often open-ended with the budget, but Cieden was excellent at tracking the budget. Communication was also excellent; there wasn’t a time when I couldn’t get a hold of them. We can’t praise their professionalism enough.
