Requirements – The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

摘要

In our efforts to make system requirements “good,” we often end up making themrn“bad.” It is proposed that the real goal should be to make requirements BaD—balanced andrndynamic. This paper describes why the so-called “good” requirements are really, in the largerrnsense, bad for success of the system and the organization that sponsors it. The paper will explainrnwhat it means to have “balanced and dynamic” requirements. Times have changed—the systemsrnengineering discipline needs to change its methods to keep up with the global trade situation.rnFor this, we need better tools and techniques that support the BaD approach.
