• 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.
