Brainstorming Workshop

Common Challenges with Requirements

Limited access to stakeholders

Conflicting priorities

Customers don’t know what they want

Customers change their mind

Getting the RIGHT SMEs

Missing requirements

Jumping into the details too early.

Not thinking outside of the ‘current’ box

Too much focus on one type of requirement

Not separating the What from the How

Developers don’t understand the problem domain

No clear definition of ‘Done’

Moving from Abstract to Concrete
