This is the crux of the issue. A CIO once asked me what I thought was the most important factor for a software project to be successful. I told him good requirements. The CIO proceeded to lecture me with Agile you don’t really need requirements. I thought he was full of shit. It is the same thing as answering a question in the SAT exam. If you don’t know the question (requirement), how can you answer the question? This is truly nonsensical Orwellian logic. It is communism.
