Based on the Webinar – A River (of Requirements) Runs Through it – by Dave West and Derwyn Harris I share with you my sketch notes and key takeaways.
Key learnings
- Consider Requirements in an agile and adaptive way and not as a stage. The river as a metaphor for the flow of requirements and their evolution
- Check for the amount of innovation and disruption of what you’re building and at least get conscious about it – use e.g. the Disruption/Innovation chart
- Be aware of the (exponential growing) gap between alignment (with requirements) and complexity and check for proper ways (considering people, process, tools) to shrink the gap
- Focus on interactions
- Avoid over interpreting guidelines as rules
- Measure Alignment
- Next book – Strategic Management and Organisational Dynamics: The Challenge of Complexity to Ways of Thinking about Organisations (Stacey)
