Abstract
Driven by an increasingly competitive market, companies add features and compress schedules for the delivery of every product, often creating a complete mismatch of requirements and resources that results in products failing to satisfy customer needs. Triage is the process of determining which requirements a product should satisfy given the time and resources available. The author presents three product development case studies and 14 recommendations for practicing this neglected art.
