Just Enough Requirements Management: Where Software Development Meets Marketing

About Specification

If you develop software without understanding the requirements, you're

wasting your time.

On the other hand, if a project spends too much time trying to understand the

requirements, it will end up late and/or over-budget. And products that are

created by such projects can be just as unsuccessful as those that fail to meet

the basic requirements.

Instead, every company must make a reasonable trade-off between what's

required and what time and resources are available.

Finding the right balance for your project may depend on many factors,

including the corporate culture, the time-to-market pressure, and the

criticality of the application. That is why requirements management gathering

requirements, identifying the "right" ones to satisfy, and documenting them is

essential.

document requirements when you are subjected to tight schedule

schedule, budget, and resources.

your customers, you must read Just Enough Requirements
