Study Notes
Requirements Management
- Definition: The process of documenting, analyzing, tracing, prioritizing, and agreeing on requirements.
-
Key Tasks:
- Identify and manage changes in requirements.
- Maintain a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to track requirements throughout the project lifecycle.
- Prioritize requirements based on stakeholder needs and project constraints.
-
Techniques:
- Version control for requirements documents.
- Stakeholder meetings and reviews for feedback.
Requirements Elicitation
- Definition: The process of gathering requirements from stakeholders.
-
Techniques:
- Interviews: Direct discussions with stakeholders to gather detailed information.
- Surveys and Questionnaires: Collect information from a larger group efficiently.
- Workshops: Collaborative sessions with multiple stakeholders to brainstorm and define requirements.
- Observations: Analyzing how users currently interact with systems.
- Prototyping: Developing early versions of systems to gather feedback on requirements.
-
Challenges:
- Diverse stakeholder interests.
- Miscommunication or lack of clarity.
Requirements Specification
- Definition: The process of documenting requirements in a clear and comprehensive manner.
-
Key Elements:
- Functional Requirements: Define what the system should do.
- Non-Functional Requirements: Define system attributes (e.g., performance, usability).
- Use Cases: Describe how users will interact with the system.
- Output: Requirements Specification Document (RSD) detailing all identified requirements.
Agile Requirements
- Definition: Evolving requirements that adapt throughout the development process, emphasizing flexibility and responsiveness.
-
Key Characteristics:
- User Stories: Short descriptions of a feature from the user's perspective.
- Backlog: A prioritized list of all user stories and requirements.
- Iterative Development: Requirements are continuously revisited and refined over iterative cycles (sprints).
-
Approach:
- Frequent stakeholder feedback to validate and adjust requirements.
- Focus on delivering the most essential features first.
Requirements Validation
- Definition: The process of ensuring that the requirements are complete, feasible, and aligned with stakeholder needs.
-
Key Activities:
- Reviews: Formal examination of requirements documents.
- Prototyping: Creating models or mockups to verify requirements.
- Testing: Developing test cases to ensure requirements are met in the final product.
-
Validation Techniques:
- Walkthroughs: Guided review sessions involving stakeholders.
- Inspections: Thorough examination by a formal group.
-
Goals:
- Identify inconsistencies, ambiguities, or missing requirements before development begins.
