For systems to be developed to meet user needs, a solid set of functional requirements need to be captured. These functional requirements should meet the following criteria:
- Needed
- Verifiable (i.e. they can be tested to see if they are met)
- Attainable
- Clear
- Simple (i.e. one requirement per phrase)
- Consistent
- State “what” (not “how”)
A clear set of functional requirements is a critical step to the development of IT systems that meet user needs and help the enterprise achieve its target architecture.
