| Purpose: | The purpose of Specify and Model Requirements is to analyze, synthesize, and refine elicitation results into requirements and designs. |
| Description: | Specify and Model Requirements describes the practices for analyzing elicitation results and creating representations of those results. When the focus of the specifying and modelling activity is on understanding the need, the outputs are referred to as requirements. When the focus of the specifying and modelling activity is on a solution, the outputs are referred to as designs. Important: In many IT environments, the word ‘design’ is used specifically for technical designs created by software developers, data architects, and other implementation subject matter experts. All business deliverables are referred to as ‘requirements’. In addition to the models used to represent the requirements, this task also includes capturing information about attributes or metadata about the requirements. The specifying and modelling activities relate to all requirement types. |
