At Swat.engineering we've always done things a bit differently. For example, we've always done #upfront #RequirementsEngineering for all of our larger projects.
This helps us bring out the right value for the customer, and also makes sure we get early alignment for stakeholders.
Since we really dislike large complex word documents, we've worked on a lightweight process that uses spreadsheets and a html generator.
