We, on the business side, define the requirements. They, on the systems side, develop solutions based on our requirements.
The better the requirements, the better the solutions will be. Crappy specifications guarantee crappy software.
The challenge is often for "those on the business side", to define the requirements good and clear enough, so that the developers can write their software. Sometimes we feel we speak different languages.
Today, we had a discussion on how we want the tabs at the bottom of a Portal page to look like. We did not understand each other. Even more complex as the graphic designers work off-site.
So we made a drawing, scanned it, and sent it by email them. Looking back, the drawing looks funny. It is almost like a cartoon.
Well at least we find it funny. Do you think we are turning into nerds?
