The Requirements Document


“I try to avoid them.”


“Here’s the binder” learning

Tell me 5 Ways

Requirements Documents

are currently not working?

1. Nobody likes writing them.

2. Nobody likes reading them.

3. Even when you do read them – each reader

takes away a different “understanding”

of what the document means.

4. Does not encourage “real” thinking and

understanding regarding whether or not the

software will actually do what needs to be done.


6. So technically specific it prescribes solutions -

rather than service/experienced based;

no room for someone to innovate.


5. Doesn’t foster collaboration, feedback, etc.

“We’re a bit too quick to come up with

explanations

for things we don’t really have an explanation

for”.

Blink, Malcolm Gladwell “...managers believe they must always know

what

is going on. It is unacceptable…to not know

what

is causing a problem”.

Peter Senge

a shared visual medium = a common language

“so that’s what you mean!”“oh - you solved it this way!”

“huh! never thought of that!”

“mmm, let’s try it!”
