Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
A quick introduction to the Overton Window, a key concept that has helped me make some sense of what seems to make no sense at all sometimes where politics and sentiment analysis are concerned. 
Before proceeding with the Building better systems series I thought I should write a quick post over the weekend about the underlying Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text engineering technologies proposed in the solution. I have received a lot of questions about this when I posted How to build better systems – the specification.
We probably can all agree that defining functional and non-functional requirements are the most critical elements of a project’s success or failure. Reducing specification requirements errors is the single most effective action we can take to improve project outcomes. The approach I propose is inexpensive and mitigates much of the risk associated with defects and errors early in the development life cycle.
