Requirements Checklist
S is the requirement
specific?Is it clear what is asked of the solution?
In other words, will different readers understand the requirement in the same way?
M is the requirement
measurable?Can a test be devised as to whether the solution actually implements the requirement?
For example, if the requirement talks of maximizing, is there a way of determining that the solution s result is really a maximum?
A is the requirement
attainable?Can the solution do what s asked of it?
Does reasonable evidence exist that the requirement is within the limits of the available technology?
R is the requirement
realizable?Can the requirement be implemented given the project s constraints?
For example, is the budget large enough to create the conditions necessary for the requirement to be implemented (e.g., buy enough disk space or change the organization s business processes)?
T is the requirement
traceable?Does the requirement support the objectives of the project?
In other words, does the requirement have value given the expectations for the project?
