Feature ArticleFact Finding IN ’THEIR’ VIEWArticle Sponsored By
 The interview is a basic information gathering and validating tool. Because it is a basic tool, considered to be easy to do and tacitly assumed that everyone knows how, inadequate attention has been paid to the methodology, responsibilities or its components. Inexperienced interviewers overlook the challenges that come from the preparatory research, the interviewees, their own inexperience, the process to capture information or the environment that they are working in. They do not consistently follow basic tenets and often mistake how things really are with how things are in their views. This paper presents some of the basic tasks associated with conducting an effective consultation for eliciting information or the interview. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What's Fundamentally Wrong? Improving our Approach Towards Capturing Value in Requirements SpecificationArticle Sponsored By
 by Tom Gilb and Lindsey Brodie We know many of our IT projects fail and disappoint. The poor state of requirements methods and practice is frequently stated as a factor for IT project failure. In this paper, I discuss what I believe is the fundamental cause: we think like programmers, not engineers and managers. We do not concentrate on value delivery, but instead on functions, on use-cases and on code delivery. Further, management is not taking its responsibility to make things better. In this paper, ten practical key principles are proposed, which aim to improve the quality of requirements specification.
The Secret of Designing Products Customers Love: Manage Requirements EffectivelyArticle Sponsored By
Originally Published By: The Aberdeen Group in December, 2009 Today's modern products are reaching new levels of innovation, but to accomplish this, they have become more complex and sophisticated than ever before. Many products have evolved into something that could actually be defined as an integrated system consisting of components that require the expertise of multiple engineering disciplines. Aberdeen examined the development practices of this evolving trend for today's products in System Engineering: Top Four Design Tips to Increase Profit Margins for Mechatronics and Smart Products, October 2009. One of the central themes that emerged from this study is the need to properly manage product requirements. This Analyst Insight explores this topic further.
