True or False: When a new requirement has to be urgently implemented, it is acceptable to change the system first and then retrospectively update the requirements document.

Correct Answer

False

Explanation

You should try to avoid changing the system first and then retrospectively modifying the requirements document. This almost inevitably leads to the requirements specification and system implementation getting out of step. Once system changes are made, it is easy to forget to update the requirements document, creating an inconsistency.
