6: RA - Requirement Analysis Flashcards

1
Q

What types of requirement are defined during Requirement Analysis KA?

A

Stakeholder Requirement
Solution Requirement

RA covers the definition of stakeholder requirements, which describe what a solution must be capable of doing to meet the needs of one or more stakeholder groups,

and solution requirements, which describe the behavior of solution components in enough detail to allow them to be constructed.

The tasks in this knowledge area apply to both stakeholder and solution requirements.

Q

What does it mean by Model in Organizing Requirements under Requirement Analysis KA?

A

Models abstract and simplify reality. No model can be a complete description of reality; the objective of developing a model is to simplify reality in a way that is useful.
