Presentation - What's the Problem? How to Make Sure Your Solution Delivers the Right Thing.

Kurt Bittner's presenation from the 2008 Rational Software Development Conference

Many teams jump straight to defining requirements without really understanding the context for the solution and the business problems that need to be solved. This presentation uses a consistent example throughout to clearly explain techniques that can be used by any team to improve their understanding of the real needs of their stakeholders. The result is fewer false starts and improved quality of delivered applications.
