    Cons

    Stressful, deadlines every now and then
    Not your cup of tea, if you dont like finance

    Advice to Senior Management

    Streamlining the process of requirements gathering will lead to overall benefit. Problem is that people giving requirements (direct users) are sometimes not sure what they really want.. and the requirements keep changing forever.
