What you’ll see…
- High levels of re-work throughout the project
- Requirements accepted by staff from any source they deem to be authoritative
- “Galloping” requirements creep
- Inability to “prove” that the product meets the approved requirements
Why Should You Care? Because…
- Lack of agreement among stakeholders as to what are the “real” requirements increases time and cost to complete the project
- You’re highly likely to deliver an incorrect or incomplete product
- Revisiting requirements changes over and over is a waste of resource highly visible to the customer
