Strategic Analysis: Challenging Requirements

After gathering those "basic" requirements, my next move is to analyze them thoroughly, noting points to gently challenge our users. Why? Because users often come with a fantastic array of ideas, but not all can be delivered at once or within our current resources. As a Product Owner, it's crucial to show we've heard them without just saying "no." Instead, we guide them to realize that while their ideas are valuable, some might be more reasonable to tackle later. As development deepens, rules and logic need crystal-clear definitions. So, after our initial analysis of their requests versus our capacity, we'll challenge back and explore those requirements further with our users, ensuring everyone's on the same page.
