Programme of requirements and wishes
What
A programme of requirements and wishes is an inventory of criteria a solution has to meet.
Why
A programme of requirements and wishes delineates the space for solutions. This helps find solutions that have general support as well as choosing between solutions.
How
- Identify directly and indirectly involved stakeholders whose perspective is important for the development of a solution.
- Inventory the ambitions, wishes, desires and needs of these stakeholders.
- Categorise the inventoried ambitions, wishes, desires and needs.
- Formulate uniform criteria on the basis of the inventoried ambitions, wishes, desires and needs, and assign these criteria to the categories.
- Prioritise the criteria, distinguishing between requirements and wishes. Requirements are must-haves; wishes are nice-to-haves.
