This paper describes the experiences of the first author in leadership requirements engineering (RE) roles in the developments of two consecutive versions of one software product in one company. The two developments differed in the amounts and the quality of their upfront RE and in their final results. The paper notes a correlation between the quantity and quality of RE and the quality of the final results in a development. The paper concludes with some lessons learned from the experiences and from the differences.
