In many companies, especially SMEs. Many product manager docking business sponsor is often the owner or the owner's agent. In this situation. "Two whatevers" the spirit basically been fully implemented. "Any decision made by the owner, we firmly support; all the boss's instructions and we always follow." After this case, a lot of time to finalize the requirements are for docking and direct product manager boss, handed directly to R & D department. The review must lead to the demand has become a mere formality or a fig leaf, or sometimes do not even need a fig leaf. In such cases, often they tend to form a one-man product manager in the technology sector. Product Manager lets do whatever scene. The so-called prospect of planning, research and development processes, rules and regulations have been weakened in the process of implementation, or can not be performed. Because the product manager made this very tough boss means. If you run into a tough product manager, technical director, that scene, that acid cool ...
Speaking before the two who hurt the value of technology, we must first talk about the importance of demand under review.
Why do we need for review?
• unify their thinking and understanding of the needs of significance
To explain the conduct of the demand for all the needs of stakeholders, so that everyone is in the same cognitive demand side. In this way we can make a strong and form a united front in terms of ideology.
• Identify specific needs-ranging
Determine the needs of specific issues and the scope of the border, so the demand is not clear and lead follow-up to assess the spread of distortion and demand. After all, it is understood above, reach the so-called one thousand readers Hamlet there are one thousand cases, but to achieve a silent understanding that really is not an ordinary-based Friends can be done.
• determine the matters to implement the schedule and responsibilities
After determining matters demand, we can assess the current work, the time to assess matters. And the corresponding work items corresponding to the person in charge of arrangements. After all, in order to be able to effectively carry out a work continues, a responsible person is necessary.
• Determine work
Set the thing to do, otherwise it is relying on experience to touch the stones.

We see flow chart above, the explanation is that there is no boss and product managers demand directly from finalized. Why? Because the realization of the demand is not simply related to the owner and product manager. It also involves multiple positions with R & D, testing, operation and maintenance. When you make a demand, but you letting others can not refuse, only passive cooperation, which in itself is a painful process. This demand is valid? Whether we can achieve? In fact, this is the need to demonstrate all aspects, not just at the product level can be a viable argument, it requires technical feasibility demonstration.
Under the guidance of two who demand only need to go through two product managers and owners to finalize. As I have experienced a demand, a demand computing is to achieve a circulation value of the goods from the road to the J H to the two warehouses. After the boss finished demand, product manager with the participation of unskilled, proposed a model implementation. Because this is a maintenance project. So there is historical data exist. Demand Fulfillment process, we found some of the data model needs to achieve the required does not exist in the system. Then product manager have continued to modify data formulas and data, with the heart of a question of luck so that technology constantly adjust procedures to verify the requirements can be achieved and integrity.
Implementation of data from a formula has been busy Monday Friday (cut-off time needs to complete), intermediate stop adjustment formula and data sources. Finally still not been achieved. No way do the announcement.
In fact, the above example, our normal process should be made after the needs of the boss, after determining the needs of the business feasibility, and then need to give some time to study technical feasibility of technology. Then come back and confirm the boss needs time to complete. And many small companies approach is to completely technicians as second-class citizens in the way. Technician forced to accept some unreasonable demands. If demand can be completed on time, then, better said, not completed on time or fail to realize, this time often increase their own technical staff to give back a pot attribute for the job.
The company is the boss, is to listen to the boss. Positive employees, should be making plans for the company's long-term, rather than to seek the most two whatevers. This is for their own irresponsible, irresponsible, irresponsible and against the company boss.
