When Applying a Standard, Use Your Judgment

by Ken Orr

I was talking to someone recently who had used a requirements approach about which I was skeptical.

"How many times have you worked on a project that used this approach?" I asked.

"I'd guess 25 or 26," he replied.

"Did it work?" I asked.

"It didn't," he replied.

"Why are you recommending it on this project?" I asked, as my voice got louder.

"It is a standard," he answered, after a little consideration.
