A Room for Ideas

This chapter defines the aim of the Interaction Room—fostering understanding between stakeholders and focusing their communication on those aspects that are critical to the success of a project—and describes key principles that shape the Interaction Room method. These principles include for example involving domain experts, favoring relevance over completeness, favoring clarity over precision, defining value and effort drivers, managing late as well as early requirements, revealing uncertainties early, making cost changes transparent, and building trust between stakeholders.
