(D) Interpret and record requirements- Once we have
gathered and categorized all requirements determine which
requirements are achievable, and how the system or
product can deliver them. The following steps should be
taken to interpret the requirements:
Define requirements precisely – Ensure that the
requirements are not ambiguous or vague, clearly
worded, sufficiently detailed, related to the business
needs and listed in sufficient detail to create a
working system or product design.
Prioritize requirements – Although many
requirements are important, some are more important
than others, and budgets are usually limited.
Therefore, identify which requirements are the most
critical, and which are less.
Analyze the impact of change – carry out an impact
analysis to make sure that we understand fully the
consequences our project will have for existing
processes, products and people.
Resolve conflicting issues – Sit down with the key
stakeholders and resolve any conflicting requirements
issues. We may find scenario analysis helpful in doing
this, as it will allow all those involved to explore how
the proposed project would work in different possible
futures.
Analyze feasibility – Determine reliability and easyto-use the new product or system. A detailed analysis
can help identify any major problems.
