At the start of any project or task, analysts often refer to existing documents to use their structure as a foundation. This practice is supported by the recommendations of Karl Wiegers in his renowned work “Software Requirements,” where he advocates for the use of templates for effective requirements gathering and analysis.
In this talk, we will share the unique experience of X5 Tech in project design and explore how the view on artifact templates has evolved in business and systems analysis. We will present specific artifact templates, adapted for various work scenarios, which will help participants strengthen their skills in organising and structuring information.
Additionally, we will discuss how to maintain a balance between using templates and the need for flexible thinking, so as not to get lost in the abundance of formats and lose sight of common sense in the pursuit of structure.
