Exam-style question
Try this first
Explain why interaction with the intended users is important when establishing the requirements of a system. Include one possible consequence of failing to do this.
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Interaction with intended users helps identify what the system is expected to do and which requirements are important to them.
- Users can clarify the problem and expose needs that may not be obvious to the person developing the system.
- If they are not consulted, the resulting system may fail to meet the users' requirements or may solve the wrong problem.
Explanation
Why this works
The specification requires requirements to be established through interaction with intended users. A strong answer links this interaction to understanding the required system and explains a realistic consequence of omitting it, such as producing an unsuitable system.
