How Now Brown Cow

by Suzanne Robertson and James Robertson

A common problem voiced by requirements analysts is: “people don’t tell me their requirements, they tell me a solution to some unstated problem”. This focus on solutions is further complicated when it is mixed together with current business constraints, technical constraints and personal perceptions of the world.
