"We Don't Need No Steenking Requirements!"

The Shark Tank blog at Computerworld has an excellent, albeit slightly apocryphal, story about what to do if your business won't give you any requirements.

"Doing my best due diligence, I went from one department head to the next, pen and paper in hand, and asked each one for specific ideas of what they wanted," says fish.

"Each of them responded the same: 'I dunno, put something together and then we'll tweak it.'"

Undaunted, fish goes to potential users in each department, asking for input. But apparently they're all close studies of their bosses. Fish keeps hearing the same thing: "Put something together and we'll figure it out from there."

What would you do?
