57
Best practices while elaborating requirements
- Start by reviewing the workshop agenda and expectations. - Review guiding principles and strategic objectives. - Identify participant roles. - Activiely listen to the conversation. - Designate a note-taker. - Refer to the standard workflows and screens for the base configeration. - Keep the conversation focused on what the business needs are. - Focus on the "happy path" of the requirement first, and then edge cases. - Use the parking lot for the off topic items. - Document decisions. On the other hand... - Do not permit more than one conversation at a time. - Do not reinvent the legacy system. - Do not be afraid to suggest: "let us put that on the backlog". - Do not revisit decisions that have already been made.
