All too often we run across the following scenario in software development:
A long requirements gathering process that results in a large document that is too big, too complicated, and too boring to be effectively reviewed by key stakeholders. This information is then used by an internal development team or outside vendor for estimation. Things invariably change, questions arise, hidden requirements start to surface, and more time and money are spent to address a virtual moving target. The software is delivered late, and when it is delivered, the stakeholders, who hadn’t really read the documentation, start noticing that some features are not implemented how they had envisioned and some critical features are not there at all, resulting in projects that are continually late and over budget.
While to some extent a worst case scenario, it is one that happens all too frequently. If any of the above is familiar, then you might want to consider Pathfinder’s user driven Agile software development approach
