Study Notes
Fundamental Truths of Requirements Gathering
-
Truth 1: Requirements Aren't About Requirements (Documents): The core focus isn't creating a requirements document, but understanding the business problem and finding a solution. Requirements exist independently of whether they are documented. The goal is to uncover the problem and possible solutions. This applies to any product, not just software.
-
Truth 2: Optimal Value for the Owner: The software (or other product) must provide optimal value to the owner (who pays for it). The owner is the key stakeholder, and the focus is on the benefits they receive, considering the costs. A valuable product provides a benefit exceeding its cost. The value can vary greatly, depending on the owner's needs and the product's capabilities.
