I once worked with a municipality that had just purchased a human-resources (HR) system. Since
they only intended to purchase ready-made software, they didn’t think it necessary to do much
analysis and, therefore, did not analyze associations. Had they done so, they would have included
in their requirements the fact that the business needed to be able to associate each employee with
one or more unions.8 (The business context for this was that some employees held a number of
positions, each covered by a different union.) As a result of the omission, not only did the municipality
end up purchasing HR software that did not support this requirement, they also had to
absorb the cost of customization. Had they included the requirement, they would have been unlikely
to purchase this software in the first place—and even if they had, they would have been able to
pass the modification cost on to the vendor.
