Unit 2

Study: Why Projects Fail and Gathering Requirements Exercise

In unit 2, I read more articles related to the causes of projects failure. The main causes of a project failure:

• The lack of structure and management
• the people
• the lack of preciseness in the requirements
• bad communicatio

We learnt to use the Gherkin language tool to translate the requirements gathered. Gherkin language is a human-readable language that allows non-technical team members to write acceptance tests. They are executed in Python using the behave framework.

We had our first meeting to introduce ourselves and get to know each other. I have already worked with one of the other team members on a previous project. However, all the others are new. It is important to get to know the skills and experiences of everybody in the project to distribute the roles accordingly.
