Talk:Business requirements

Page contents not supported in other languages.

Issues with current form

[edit]
  • Content is overly long (nice essay maybe, but not an encyclopaedia article)
  • Format/BRD coverage is too in depth (and besides, MRD and other xRD are not included here.)
  • The tools section conflates other issues and needs to be written in a way that stays withing the bounds of the topics and contributes to understanding for a layperson or should be removed.
  • The section on completeness actually belongs in a category of "Quality attributes" where completeness is one of several criteria
Additionally these criteria also apply to other 'requirements types.'
  • The section on prototypes should be removed. A Prototype page already exists and this duplicates some of that content. DONE
  • There are schools of though with regards to requirements that are missing here and should be included.
  • There is no description of the origins of the term, and no description of the contention in industry about the topic beyond a need for prototyping (which isn't the only solution to the problems and doesn't address all related problems.
  • Poor/No references
  • The link in the opening paragraph points to a page on Data Models, which while part of the concept isn't the whole story.
  • Benefits section shouldn't be a table.
  • Roles section should be labelled something like "who creates and who uses business requirements"
  • The second-last para in the Completeness section makes judgements on the value of certain practices; such judgements would seem to be outside scope of this article. It also appears to conclude with some unsubstantiated anti-Agile FUD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.108.147.214 (talk) 22:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Improvements

[edit]

Given the state of the content I think delete and trim things as much as possible. This page should work for a 14 year old investigating what his mother does for a living. Needs more simplicity. Additionally some areas are not covered that should be, and some stuff is over emphasised. This really should be a straightforward topic.

All the requirements and analysis pages could go here.

I have started hacking away at an example here. I expect I shan't be quick. Craigwbrown (talk) 12:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article needs to be clearly about BR not about BR analysis (there's one on that already, and like most of the R articles, is in serious need of attention). So if at any point the article's contents seem to be straying into HOW TO create the BR it is off beam - indeed, since WP is NOT a how-to manual, arguably any process recipe to be followed (as opposed to being described in general terms) is inappropriate. I've rewritten the first few sections of the article - all of it was really confused. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:19, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
