Why Requirements Need to be Managed?
4. • Complete
• Each requirement must fully describe the functionality to be delivered
• Correct
• Each requirement must accurately describe the functionality to be built
• Feasible
• It must be possible to implement the functionality
• Necessary
• Each requirement should document a capability that is really needed
• Prioritized
• Assign priorities to respond to budget cuts, time, …
• Unambiguous
• All readers must arrive to the same understanding
• Verifiable
• Can be tested, inspected, reviewed, …
