Have you read the science fiction novel “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”? The main plot is the search for a question which fits an answer they have in hand, but do not understand.
If you listened to the SAWE Virtual Conference in 2024 several presenters mentioned “This is what I need to ask the right question”. Like the novel we seem to have something in hand. But what is it?
Is it just one question, or is it a multiple set of questions? What are the dependencies of the question(s)? Is it always the same or is it dependent on the phase, on the project, the supplier, the customer or something else.
Where do you learn to ask the right question? Is it documented somewhere?
The combined knowledge of the audience ensures that we understand what we have in hand, are able to find the answers to these questions and ensure that all participants will gain knowledge.
It will not take us 10 million years to find the right question(s), and the answer to those will not be “42”.
