In this episode of Business Analysis Simplified, Michael and Emily discuss why reviewing and validating requirements is critical before development begins. They share how structured reviews with stakeholders, peers, and technical teams can catch ambiguities, gaps, and misunderstandings early, saving time and money.

You’ll learn:

• The difference between sign-off and true validation.

• How to conduct effective requirements reviews without unnecessary bureaucracy.

• A real-world example showing how reviews prevented costly rework on a project.
