What is the benefit with patterns and templates when working with business requirements?
Writing business requirements is not easy, so how can we improve ways of working with requirements?
Often, I don’t have the detailed knowledge of a product, programming language or a system, so what I do is to review the basic foundation for the solution design.
In a recent Twitter discussion about requirements management, I wrote,
"Requirements management is like bookkeeping. You need to do it in business, but it doesn’t guarantee profits”
When talking about collecting requirements, one of the challanges is what we mean with requirements and level of detail. The requirements we ask for should also be possible to verify.
