The Who, What, When, Where, How and Why of Requirements: We’ve all faced the challenge: stakeholders eagerly share what they want, but how often do those “wants” truly reflect their needs? And let’s be honest—no one looks forward to producing or reading a 376-page technical document crammed with spreadsheets. How do we go beyond superficial requests to uncover meaningful, actionable requirements that lead to innovative and sustainable solutions?
