Once gathered, requirements are rarely perfect. They are often conflicting, redundant, or technically unfeasible. During , the team must:
In software development and systems engineering, the "requirements process" is the critical bridge between a stakeholder’s vague idea and a functional product. It is the practice of identifying, documenting, and managing what a system must do. Getting this right is paramount; industry data consistently shows that requirement errors are the most expensive to fix if discovered late in the development cycle. 1. Discovery and Elicitation
