This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
PURPOSE
Manage the requirements and designs for a project |
Tasks
Specify & Model Requirements - analyzing needs using a variety of models.
Verify Requirements - ensures that the requirements & models are of sufficient quality to be used for further work.
Validate Requirements - ensures that all requirements deliver value to the business, contribute to the fulfillment of goals and objectives and meet a specific stakeholder need.
Define Requirements Architecture- describes how the requirements are organized into various models & documents.
Define Design Options- define the solution approach, identify opportunities to improve the business, allocate requirements across solution components and represent design option that achieve the desired future state.
Analyze Potentials Value & Recommend Solution - determining which design options will be selected to meet the stakeholder requirements. |

Study Q & A
What is the difference between requirement verification & validation?
REQUIREMENT VERIFICATION
Verification of requirements ensures that the requirements and models are of sufficient quality to be used for further work.
making sure that requirements are ready for stakeholder
review and approval.
making sure that requirements provide all the information
needed for the next steps in constructing the solution (i.e. ready for design
efforts)
REQUIREMENT VALIDATION
Requirement validation ensures that all requirements deliver value to the business, contribute to the fulfillment of goals and objectives and meet a specific stakeholder need.
BA should Tie the requirement to a business value that will be
delivered.
Define evaluation criteria and process
Define any dependencies the requirement has in order to gain
desired result (including assumptions)
Make sure the requirement aligns to the business case
Discuss the tasks of Define Design Options and Analyze Potential Value & Recommend Solution
How does a BA Evaluate and manage requirements to keep the solution focused on business goals? |
