“Chris Matts”:http://abc.truemesh.com/ “points”:http://abc.truemesh.com/archives/000306.html to a paper he co-authored with “Andy Pols”:http://www.pols.co.uk/blog/index.html on “Business Value-driven Software Development”:http://www.pols.co.uk/business-coach/BusinessValueDrivenDevelopment.pdf (PDF) Sounds like obvious common sense to me, which presumably means it doesn’t happen as much as it could in the real world! 
In “another post(Documents Create Antagonism)”:http://abc.truemesh.com/archives/000305.html he also puts his finger on a common problem with “Big Design Up Front”:http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?BigDesignUpFront projects - namely the dysfunctional behaviour driven on both business and development sides of a project by too much early specification that does not consider the value of requested features.
