There's more than one way to skin a ca...a cucumber.  In my
organization, people are definitely invested in what I intend to
build, and we do discuss requirements.  But if I tried to tell them,
"All right, I need all of us to sit down and write scenarios in a
particular text file format for all of our critical path success and
failure cases," I would just get blank stares.  They wouldn't Get It.
And I don't see it as a necessary part of my job to drag everyone else
into this culture, if I can just document my best understanding and
then show them the results for feedback.
