Explanation:
Requirements are developed collaboratively and not “thrown over the fence.”

... en collaboration, et non pas chacun dans son coin.

throw it over the wall

Business slang for completing your part of a project and then passing it off to the next group. This phrase is usually said when there is little communication between two groups. For example, "We'll get the new design finished by noon so we can throw it over the wall to the brand police."

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): ce n'est absolument pas le sens de l'expression : "stopping projects from being engineered and “thrown over the fence” to an Ops team that has no understanding of how to monitor or manage the system or application" http://tinyurl.com/jse4rgy

disagree  Daryo: that's not the meaning // faire du travail par dessus la jambe = doing a sloppy / careless / ... job

"lancés par-dessus la cloison"


Explanation:
"thrown over de fence" : les programmeurs développent des applications, puis les "jettent par-dessus la clôture" aux utilisateurs, avec les problèmes que l'on imagine (pas de feedback utilisateurs-concepteurs).

Ici on imagine un espace de bureau open space, ou les employés se passent des projets par-dessus la cloison - Ici, ce n'est pas le cas, tout est élaboré conjointement.

"I quipped about how I wished to stop getting e-mails like this. Not because I’m ungrateful for potential project opportunities, but rather because the startup is treating front-end development as something entirely separate from the design process. (Also, for a startup that doesn’t have a developer on staff, they sure have a lot of specific development requirements).

The unfortunate reality is that this startup is not alone in thinking that front-end development is something completely detached from the design process. That you can design everything in isolation then just throw things over the fence to get built."
