Building a Lightweight Center of Excellence for Requirements

The ABA RLC is designed to support organizations in establishing a Community of Practice (CoP), Center of Excellence (CoE), or Operational Excellence (OpEx) program.

​

The RLC should be implemented as part of a structured 5-step process (see figure below). While the RLC is a key component of a CoE program, it is just one part of a broader framework that includes:

• Governance

• Integration with other disciplines (e.g., project management, architecture, risk, and change management)

• Training

• Performance Assessment & Management

• Application & Tool Integrations

• Knowledge Management Repository

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By incorporating these elements, organizations can create a well-rounded CoE program that drives continuous improvement and sustainable success.
