Representative Line: Be Thankful for Good Requirements
by Remy Porter from The Daily WTF on (#VT88)
In the US, today's the Thanksgiving holiday. As I learned from A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, it's supposed to be about friendship, family, and being grateful for what you have. In common practice, it's more about gorging yourself.
While I was perusing our inbox, I saw that Matthew sent me a "flow chart" that represented a set of requirements from his sales team. Immediately upon opening it, I said, "Thank goodness I don't have to work on this."
So, today, whether you celebrate the orgy of American excess or not, celebrate this fact. You've never been handed a requirements document this bad. I hope.
