Numerous studies have shown that a software project’s cost, schedule and defect density escalate as the rate of requirements change increases. Yet none of these studies have explored the effects of not making requirements changes in response to changes in user needs. This paper explains why a project incurs just as much, if not more, risk when requirements changes are suppressed.
