Hello @Al_and @Matthew, further to the presentation at the Gemini call on the 06/07, a question was asked about how the proposed approach to identify information requirements fits with existing approaches / standards. It would be great to hear your thoughts on this.
Hi @Anne I am not aware of any existing standards to identify information requirements systematically (but there are lots of standards, so I might have missed one). Current practice is generally to ask users what their information requirements are. This can be hit and miss because users will tend to focus on what is an issue at the moment, and perhaps forget what works well and does not cause a problem. This is good for the consultant because if information requirements are missed, then it is the users fault for not telling the consultant what they were.
