Chapter 5. Evolutionary Requirements

 

Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.

 
 --Don Marquis

Introduction

This chapter briefly introduces iterative and evolutionary requirements, and describes specific UP requirement artifacts, to provide context for the coming requirements-oriented chapters.

In also explores some evidence illustrating the futility and unskillfulness of waterfall-oriented requirements analysis approaches, in which there is an attempt to define so-called “complete” specifications before starting development.
