#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.
