Thanks for sharing Caroline. Yes, I would say verification and validation is often an iterative process for me as well, except for on the very smallest of projects. Love the idea of mixing a context diagram with textual requirements to be reviewed in subsets. That makes so much sense!

It’s never a straight path through the requirements development process in my experience! I end up with at least one iteration of verifying quality (and completeness), finding missing requirements (or splitting up ambiguous requirements into more tightly defined requirements) and the re-validating the new requirements.

I use similar techniques for nimble requirements validation (models/graphics, expressing requirements in agile user stories etc). I’ve also found breaking a large list of requirements down into smaller logical chunks (by feature, process or even process step) helps too. Eyes glaze over if we go more than 1 hour in our business 🙂 I create a contextual diagram showing the bigger picture and how the smaller pieces fit in and refer to this each time we start a new session of smaller chunks. This helps ground people.
