I find it interesting that the majority of certifications offered to IT professionals are hardware/software oriented. In fact, with the exception of a few, this seems industry prevalent.
I would be interested in hearing opinions from TechRepublic members on the perceived value of a full certification program for Business Requirements Engineering (a.k.a Requirements Analysis). None exists today that offers a program rich with tools, techniques, and a proven approach. Is this needed? Would it have broad industry acceptance? Is this something you and your people would invest in?

I know such a program is on the horizon, based on a user-centric, proven approach that is not well known but has been used by many Fortune 1000 companies overthe last 12 years. It is obvious to me that when 84% of IT projects are not successful, due in great part to poor requirements gathering, something must be done. All responses welcome.

I am in the industry and have seen projectsmake it by the grace of God! No proper plan on paper, alot of discussions on the fly. No check points, no proper follow ups and when there is a problem, everyone blames each other. Oh if we could get ourpeople to see that tech. knowledge has to be married to common business sense. There are no self made persons, everyone contributes to someone's success; therefore marriage is a must for both areas!!!
