Translating Requirements Between Finance and IT
finance · it · delivery
Problem
Projects often slowed down because finance intent and technical implementation language diverged.
Unclear requirements produced avoidable rework.
Data foundation
Workshops captured business rules, data definitions, and exception scenarios.
Artifacts were stored as a shared decision log for traceability.
Approach
Requirements were mapped into user journeys, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints.
Each iteration closed with a business validation checkpoint.
Impact
Handover quality improved and delivery loops became shorter.
Stakeholders aligned earlier on tradeoffs and scope boundaries.
Learnings
A shared glossary is not optional in cross-functional delivery.
Short feedback cycles prevent expensive late-stage changes.
