The best place to start when improving a software team’s efficiency…
No, it’s not what you think.
Not some fancy automation.
Not that new Agile technique.
It’s those boring requirements.
So much stems from how requirements are defined and understood by the development team.
It’s the real root of a lot of problems.
Whether you prefer User Stories, Features, Use Cases, or something else, the following rules still apply:
- Make sure your product and development team have a shared understanding.
- Break them up into small work items that take no more than a couple of days.
- Give your dev team a chance to ask clarifying questions BEFORE starting.
- Clearly document acceptance criteria for testing purposes.
- Keep communication lines open during development.
Because remember…
Garbage in, garbage out.
Is your team getting the requirements right?
