A development paradigm driven by | |
- Why? | |
- What? | |
- How? | |
- When? | |
- Where? | |
- Who? | |
These questions can be applied at each phase; be it requirements gathering, design, development, testing. It compliments | |
all existing development methodologies including all iterative approaches. In each phase these questions would have a different | |
meaning and therefore different response. If in each phase all these questions are answered and understood upfront, it would | |
reduce communication overheads significantly for the work that follows. | |
Notes: | |
- Why ? - is a deep question, if one asks it 3 times, answer may not be immediately available. Answer it to a point that works. May be stop at 3 times. | |
- What ! and How ! - is all that we wonder about, what we observe, the data one can collect. The omics, the pathways. How is more important that what. Almost all organizations are necessarily going to have an uniquely identifiable approach for how they achieve the same what even when they are trailblazers. | |
- When ? and where ? - seems to be a choice. Often research shows compelling case studies that it is indeed a choice. Making wise choices are quintessential for success. | |
- Who? - who is an ethical question or is it ? each of us have to answer this for ourselves first. Why not me? |
