I was asked what I normally would do in a process for gartering requirements for an integration assignment. I started to write about this question and it became a good blog post and I hope to get your feedback about what I have written or left out.
I have worked on many different projects for my clients. It is in an ideal situation that the business can hand over some information about what kind of integration it wants. Many times it is not always possible to get this level of information.
Therefore, there is confusion between what is required and what is delivered. The business has its own idea about what is needed. As PI developers we have other ideas. I wanted to share some of my ideas on what is needed before it is possible to start and integrate, or at least complete it.
Listed below is a checklist that I consider useful.
This list is not complete. Please help me gather more information, which can be used to make a better list for us to follow.
I’m currently working on creating a template for how to fill in this information in an efficient way. I need to test the document before I can release it. Please go to PIArchitecture and sign up for the mailing list—you’ll be the first to know when it is ready.
