> First you need to determine the requirements. All of them. In excruciating detail. Funny, I am currently in charge of a rewrite that did exactly the opposite (start with an MVP, do agile increments), and just recently went into production with great success.

The previous attempts both failed exactly because they tried to "determine the requirements in excruciating detail" - they never got past that stage.
