5 Reasons To Avoid Analysis in Advance

5 Reasons To Avoid Analysis in Advance

#97. I share five reasons why I think you should avoid analysis in advance when you're building Dynamics 365 and Power Platform applications.

My five top reasons:

  • Peak ignorance. You're analyzing the requirements during the period when your stakeholders know least about Microsoft business applications and your analysts know least about their needs.
  • Priority categorization. Your requirement specification doesn't order the requirements by business value.
  • Over-engineering. Your requirements are likely to lead to over-engineered complexity and a rejected user experience.
  • Wasted effort. You're spending time chasing the illusion of completeness and putting yourself at risk of a significant change that will derail your requirements specification.
  • Opportunity cost. By deferring deployment you're deferring the benefits, and costing your organization money.
