The June 1, 2018 Design section of MD+DI (Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry) features Are You Letting Fear of Missing Out Dictate Your Requirements? by StarFish Medical Mechanical Engineer, Nigel Syrotuck.
Syrotuck introduces his article with this lead: “By understanding a medical device’s intended use case and environment, designers can pursue opportunities without complicating requirements documentation.”
“This article is all about the biggest worry I see over and over again in our clients’ eyes, and what we can do to alleviate those fears both as designers and as managers.”
After providing a compelling series of points and examples, Syrotuck concludes. “Invest early in sharing the big picture goals with everyone; you’ll find it’s much easier to trust people you’ve trained yourself. Don’t be afraid to document everything, but consider where you are writing things down and what impact your requirements will have on your team’s level of effort. Holistic understanding and efficient documentation will mean you and your design team can trust each other to work quickly without fear of missing out.”
