High-Level Message: Agile teams maintain requirements backlogs in their DevOps tools, but this is a bad approach. It is better to use a dedicated content management system for this because they have better features for collaboration, and collaboration is key to getting requirements correct before expensive development work begins. The CMS can also be the home of the product roadmap, which guides requirements gathering.

The classic Swiss Army Knife (SAK) is an admired novelty with popularity that transcends generations of doers. The image of the trinket splayed on a tree stump evokes Tim Allen grunts and imaginative delusions of conquering nature with Bear Grylls abilities. Even if this doesn’t apply to everyone who reads this, for reasons relevant to the economy of complexity, or the economy of tight budgets, here’s a thesis: having the ability to do more with one tool is desirable. This begs the question — is it better to take the bait and choose a tool that is adequate for many purposes, or is it better to choose tools that excel at fewer purposes? The answer, of course, is that it depends.
