The Standish Group's Chaos Report found that nearly one-third of all software projects are cancelled and more than 80 percent exceed budget and schedule. The majority of these failures were attributable to three principle causes:

1. Inadequate definition and understanding of the project?s requirements
2. Incomplete assessment of the technical considerations of the project
3. Failure to identify and plan for the risks of the project

Accurate and reliable requirement definition, technical feasibility assessment and rick reduction are the key to a successful software project.
Fail here and doom your project .
The APs are built around three processes specifically designed to tackle these project killers head-on.
Accelerated Requirements Method (ARM)
One of the most common pitfalls encountered on failing projects is poor collection and communication of business drivers and accurate articulation of technical requirements. When these are done correctly, however, the projects success rate improves dramatically. The Accelerated Requirements Method (ARM) is a highly structured, facilitated-based method that repeatably identifies, records, prioritizes, and publishes the business? functional requirements in less than three days!
Accelerated Technical Feasibility Assessment (ATFA)
Once a project?s functional requirements have been determined, the scope and nature of the project including project approach and any technical concerns must be identified, assesses and scoped. The Accelerated Technical Feasibility Assessment (ATFA) is a highly structured, facilitated-based method of identifying, recording, quantifying, and assessing technical feasibility risks. Not only are technical concerns surfaced but alteratives are derived in under four days.
Accelerated Risk Reduction Planning (ARRP)
All software projects have risk. However few projects clearly srticulte these inherent risks and even fewer prepare advance plans to mitigate risks and contain their impact. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that a modest risk planning effort conducted at the beginning of a project will yield substantial benefits throughout the life of a project. The Accelerated Risk Reduction Planning (ARRP) is a highly structured, facilitated-based method that rapidly identifies, analyzes and prepares risk mitigation and containment strategies in under two days.
Accelerated Process Builder
All Accelerated Processes use the Accelerated Process Builder , a real-time requirements repository and document publishing tools. With the AP Builder the AP facilitator is able to print out the state of the Project Initation with the press of a button - generating requirements documents, feasibility studies, risk mitigation and containment strategies, actions items, assumptions and issues.
