Listen "Ep 37 – Requirements Gathering – Part 3"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The JDE Connection, hosts Paul and Chandra conclude their three-part conversation on requirements gathering summarizing key points from previous discussions and emphasizing the crucial role of gathering and prioritizing requirements before jumping to solutions. They discuss the benefit of admitting one's lack of knowledge and the creative potential unleashed by collaborative brainstorming sessions. Drawing from personal experiences, both hosts agree that while it is challenging to admit uncertainty, doing so fosters trust and confidence over time. They provide practical advice on balancing divergent stakeholder needs, managing limited resources, and avoiding analysis paralysis by adopting an iterative approach to requirements management, highlighting the "Just Enough Requirements Management" (JERM) concept. 02:07 Recap of Part 1 and Part 2 05:13 Different perception of stakeholders towards the project 07:32 Stakeholders with differing interests and expectations 11:10 Red line vs Yellow Line Requirements 12:59 How do you know what’s really important? 17:31 JERM – Just Enough Requirements Management 23:46 A constraint is nothing but an opportunity 21:17 A list of the “Top 10” elicitation challenges 34:32 Midwesternism of the Day Resources: If you have concerns or feedback on this episode or ideas for future episodes, please contact us at [email protected].
