If time is fixed (as you said in your comment) and effort is fixed or at least capped (is your boss willing to hire infinite developers?), then either scope is not fixed and you guys should do what you can in the fixed time that you have (this is what Scrum does with Sprints), or you should accept failure and move on (possibly to another company where bosses either understand software development or leave it to the people who do) | |
| Jul 11, 2019 at 21:49 | comment | added | GuilleOjeda | If the system lacks functional requirements, it doesn't need to do anything, so it doesn't have a reason to exist. If it has functional requirements but you don't have access to them, you can't work on it. If it has functional requirements but they aren't specified up front in a manner that you're accustomed to, it still has functional requirements, and you might be asking the wrong question. | |

| Jul 11, 2019 at 12:59 | comment | added | Arkadiusz Kałkus | @FilipMilovanović Well, the situation looks a bit dirty. I mentioned we don't understand fully what needs to be done and let's make some analysis, otherwise we can't plan. Business owner promised requirements but said that they won't be completed in reasonable time (maybe in the middle of implementation). So the team gathered to analyze what we have to do. After initial analysis some people started to freak out that we can't make it on time, meanwhile deadline is fixed due to external factors. Finally they created tasks based on initial analysis and rush up to start because deadline is short. | |

| Jul 11, 2019 at 12:39 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | Will the old system be in use until the new system replaces it, or will both systems be used simultaneously, with the new system gradually replacing functions in the old system? | |
