A study show that 50% of problems that a project has is due to poor requirements gathering and analysis. Yes, I believe it. I’ve seen it so many times where a company slacked in the business analysis area, and the system was poorly done. It is never good, especially when you are turning this over to your own client. There are different types of requirements. I’ve discussed in detail functional and non-functional requirements. Did you know that there are three other types of requirements? Here are the four requirements groups that requirements can fall under:
1. Business Requirements
Business requirements should adhere to the mission and strategic plans of an organization. These are very high-level requirements that do not focus on the solution for the issue the organization is trying to resolve. It is all about the organization as a whole. For instance, you will ensure that the web page colors only come from the organization’s color scheme.
2. Stakeholder Requirements
Stakeholder requirements are a bridge between business requirements and solution requirements (the third type of requirements group). They focus on the needs of the different stakeholders and user groups that will be affected by the solution. For example, you will ensure that there is a way for an Administrator to toggle between a basic user and administrator role.
3. Solution Requirements
Solution requirements are the functional and non-functional requirements that will detail the specifics of the solution.
4. Transition Requirements
Transition requirements are temporary requirements. The only way to have these if you define the current system and the proposed one. For instance, you will need a ramp until the stairs are built.
