Gathering Requirements, and Rapidly Building Proof of Concepts
summary
Data shows two thirds of projects run over time or budget and 20% fail, so the process centers on deep customer conversations: open questions, active listening, summarising, and 5 whys to turn messy notes into grouped user narratives and a single vision statement. A failed CRM after four months and 10 daily feature requests motivates building paper/whiteboard sketches, low‑fidelity prototypes in spreadsheets or slides, interactive prototypes in Figma, then a functional front end wired to dummy JSON using frameworks like AngularJS or Vue to produce a fast, testable PoC.
