Objectives

The typical objectives of this milestone include:

• All high risk and architecturally-significant requirements are elicited, analyzed, specified, and evaluated:
  • System requirements
  • Data and content requirements
  • Quality requirements
  • External API requirements
  • Design constraints

Tasks Accomplished

The following tasks are typically accomplished by the development organization prior to this milestone:

• Requirements Engineering Tasks (high risk and architecturally-significant requirements only):
  • Requirements Reuse
  • Requirements Identification
  • Requirements Analysis
  • Requirements Specification
• Project Management Tasks:
  • Delivery Management:
    • Requirements Executive Summary
    • System Requirements Specification
    • External API Specification
    • Glossary
    • Domain Model Document

Work Products Delivered

The following work products are typically delivered to the customer organization at or before this milestone:

• Requirements Set:
  • Requirements Executive Summary (architecturally-significant requirements)
  • System Requirements Specification (architecturally-significant requirements)
  • External API Specification (optional)
  • Glossary
  • Domain Model Document

Guidelines

• Only use this milestone in conjuntion with the initiation phase of a project.
