To Gather Requirements, from those who don't want to give time for interviewing? @Onno, "user's lie" is hyperbole to mean that even when a stakeholder is cooperating there is often a difference between what they say they want and what they actually need. Stakeholders rarely lie or misrepresent on purpose (though I have seen it happen). My advice for a non-cooperative client is the same -- find some way of communicating with them that resonates and helps them engage with the project. If all else fails, reminding them (or their supervisor) of the cost of the project is usually enough to get cooperation (though that probably does not apply in this case). |

To Gather Requirements, from those who don't want to give time for interviewing? @Onno, It's your job as a requirements engineer to find an effective way to elicit requirements and interviews are but ONE technique for gathering them. So if interviews don't work, for ANY reason, it's not the end of the world. In my experience, while interviews are easy to do, they're really not that effective except in cases where the stakeholders know exactly what they want. Users lie or don't know what they want, some people react differently to different techniques. In reality you probably should be using a variety of methods to identify the right set of functional requirements |

What are the best practices when performing requirements analysis through job observation? If you're looking for a process to help with this I can reccomend Contextual Design. See wikipedia and The Book from Amazon |

What is the best way to discuss/plan/negotiate about code architecture remotely? I did not think it was a generic training video. I was just curious what your design videos ended up looking like, what kind of information they conveyed and how you did it. Is it a screen cast walking through code? Teammembers talking around a whiteboard? A recorded presentation? Something else entirely? What are the most important things to include in a video architecture description? I assumed you would not be able to share but I thought I'd ask anyway. |

What is a good method to do lightweight architecture evaluation? I agree, evolving the architecture is fine - as long as the team is experienced in the domain and qualities you're dealing with and is able to manage the right risks at the right times. |

Mathematical Knowledge Required prior to entering Computer Science @RYUZAKI, you're welcome to submit your own answer to this question as this isn't really a discussion forum. Given the open nature of the question there is no right or wrong answer so there's no sense arguing with someone about their answer. The best thing to do is post your own answer to this question and let your answer stand for itself. |

Mathematical Knowledge Required prior to entering Computer Science Good list. The only things I'd throw in are predicate logic and a basic foundation for making proofs (induction, proof by contradiction, etc). |

Architecture Review Guidelines for Java/JEE project How much of your architecture do you have described? Do you have diagrams, quality attribute scenarios? It sounds like you already have implemented the system, is this right? How big is your project? What is the goal of the review? Are you looking for architecture conformance or is this a first step before, for example, extending the system? These things all play into the kinds of assessments you might consider. |

Architecture Review Guidelines for Java/JEE project ATAM is a tried and true technique. You'll get the most out of it with an experienced ATAM facilitator, though teams I've been on still got a lot of out of the ATAM on our own. On our own, it was challenging because we were sometimes unsure about certain steps or outcomes as we went through the process. |
