Summary
The three techniques described here will help you to
facilitate (i.e., "make easier") the project requirements
approval process and project meetings.
1. Ask the right people, and get their buy-in early.
2. Manage the communication of the requirements
so that you both know that you have a common
and correct understanding.
3. Capture the requirements in a structured format
that helps you to analyze them as you elicit
them.
As you get better at these three techniques, the
final requirements approval process will be easier
to accomplish and will involve much less risk to the
project than you may be experiencing now.
