What is it and Why it's Important
Impact analysis is a key aspect of responsible requirements management. It is the process of examining a proposed change to identify which components might have to be created, modified, or discarded, and to estimate the effort associated with implementing the change. Impact analysis provides an accurate understanding of the implications of a proposed change, which helps the team make informed business decisions about which proposals to approve. Skipping impact analysis doesn’t change the size of the task; it just turns the size into a surprise.
Robert S. Arnold and Shawn A. Bohner in their book called Software Maintenance, stated that impact analysis is about “identifying the potential consequences of a change or estimating what needs to be modified to accomplish a change.” Therefore, impact analysis is essential for responsible requirements management and should not be skipped in order to avoid surprises later on.
In practice, impact analysis is a detailed study of business activities, dependencies, and infrastructure. It reveals how critical products and services are delivered and examines the potential impact of a disruptive event over time.
