Chapter 2: Knowing What You Need
Writing Your Statement of Needs Okay, you've defined and prioritized a set of functional needs and technical considerations. You've also given thought to security and ethical standards. Your next step involves translating these needs into a statement of what your technology solution should do. Now, try to produce a Needs Statement document that is thorough and self-explanatory, so your successor or others will have no trouble seeing what you've done and how you've reached your conclusions. The document should be written by the technology committee. The more people participate in these discussions and the development of these plans, the more they will 'buy-in" to the new technologies, and "buy-in" is critical. |
