How does one know what the client needs? Listening to what the client says is first and foremost. Business Plans are important for this reason. Recommending a complete business plan for clients who might not have one is imperative. Many times an entrepreneurial perspective may be necessary to extract relevant data from plans, proposals, conversations etc. Beginning a successful project starts with planning.
First Questions I ask my clients.
1. Do you have a business plan?
2. What kind of business are you in?
3. Who is your target market or audience?
4. Where do you see your business next year?
5. How do you want to leverage technology to increase your business?
Once the answers to these questions are clear i can begin to map out how, and in what ways we can increase revenue, company image, and market share. This implementation could involve a mass email marketing campaign or a poll by text message. Knowing the requirements is an essential part of controlling complexity, risk, project scope and in un-ambiguously defining the goals and criteria for a successful software or business project. From business plans you can model complex requirements and provide full traceability from each requirement right through to the final deliverables and system behavior. Develop your business plans and control project management. Generating a solid plan is crucial without it you plan to fail.
