About the Presentation
Audience:Business analysts and managers, project teams
Presented by:Dan Tasker, Senior Business Analyst, Author, Mentor
Presentation Synopsis:
Having discussed Stakeholder (high-level) requirements in Part 2 of this series, and models representing the information component of an information system, that leaves Functional (detailed) requirements to be discussed. Quality functional requirements need to represent everything that is required from a business perspective.
An example of the level of detail necessary for a report taken from the Trips-R-You Case Study is discussed. The example utilizes visual representations of the report (i.e. a mock-up) as well as operational aspects. Ultimately, quality requirements are not complete until every data field and label that needs to be included in the report has been documented.
