The 2011 ArgonDigital Software Requirements Holiday Medley

Our team here at ArgonDigital loves this time of year when we get to wish all of our friends and family a Season of SeiHappy Holidays! Once again we bring you our favorite holiday requirements jingles!

If you want more holiday cheer, just take a peek back at the past five years of holiday songs. As for this year, please sing along with our new releases!

In the true spirit of how hard our BA teams work to make deadlines, this year’s feature song:

Our Doc Got Run Over by a BA
Our doc got run over by a BA
Trying to turn a spec in Christmas eve
You can say there’s no such thing as on time,
But as for Bob the BA, he believes.

BA Bob was drinking eggnog,
And we begged him not to go.
But he refused to miss the deadline, and he
Ran out, dropping our requirements doc in the snow

When we found it Christmas morning,
At the scene of the attack
It had BA footprints on its header,
And incriminating tire tracks on the back.

The team’s pride is held so dearly
They’ve been taking this so well.
Though he tried, and tried,
Bob missed the deadline
Ruined docs create tales to tell

Our requirements were just late
The team finished, to be fair
And we just can’t help but wonder
Will anyone really even care!

 

Santa BA
Santa BA, slip a new spec under the tree, for me
We’ve had an awful good year
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Santa BA, add three new fancy fun features too, will you
We’ll wait for you right here
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Don’t think of the fun you’ll miss
What would be so as enjoyable as this
Your next review will be so good
If you’d check off our to-do list
Boo doo bee doo

Santa BA, features are a lot, it sorta seems
but it’s not
We’ve been so easy all year
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Santa BA, there’s one more thing we really need, indeed
Just a bit more scope
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Santa BA, please fill up our stockings with complete specs, what’s next
We’ll sign off on the line
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Come finish our spec, you see
With some requirements we found so handy
We really do believe in them
Let’s see if you believe they’re key
Boo doo bee doo

Santa BA, forgot one little thing, just you trust, a must
Shouldn’t take you long
Santa BA, and hurry to get it done tonight

Hurry to get it done tonight
Hurry to get it done tonight!

 

Last Monday

Last Monday
I gave you my spec
But the very next day you pushed it away
This week
To save sweat and tears
I’ll ask someone else to review

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep asking you
But I so don’t know why
Do you want to review?
Well
It’s been a week
It doesn’t surprise me, not in the least
I polished it and sent it
With a note saying “please review”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
To think you cared a bit more
About your requirements again

Last Monday
I gave you my spec
But the very next day you pushed it away
This week
To save sweat and tears
I’ll ask someone else to review
