Fact Finding and JRP


Fact Finding is very important in the requirements analysis phase.  It’s important because once we are finished with fact finding then we can move on to creating different models (data/process/object/etc).



As you can see above, fact finding can take quite a great deal of time.  I would rather us get started and have time on our side; therefore I would like to bring up the idea of a Joint Requirements Planning (JRP) technique.  I think the JRP will speed up the process.  A JRP certified analyst would be the facilitator of this workshop.  This workshop that the JRP analyst would conduct would be 3-5 days.  In this workshop they will discuss the issues mentioned above as well as others.  It will combine a couple weeks of work into a couple of long days.  It allows everyone to put their heads together to come up with solutions to these known problems!
