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!
