Most teams treat requirements as a one-time task: gather them at the beginning, write them down in a document, and move on to design and development. But in reality, requirements evolve—and if your process doesn’t evolve with them, your product risks becoming unstable, unmaintainable, and misaligned with user needs. Here’s why requirements management—not just requirements capture—is essential. 1.

  “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” This powerful quote, shared by Dmitry Hurkovskyi in his insightful video on business analysis, perfectly captures the heart of the challenges faced in product development. Dmitry uses a compelling example of a banking application to demonstrate how assumptions, miscommunication, and overlooked complexities can derail projects. https://youtu.be/UYAYJfKXFPQ?t=189 In the video, the bank’s management requested a feature update to align with new tax policies. Initially, the development team agreed to “look into it,” but later concluded the task was too complex.
