Frequently asked questions
Requirements are characteristics or properties that a project or product must absolutely fulfill. They are clearly defined and form the basis for successful implementation.
Wishes, on the other hand, are additional ideas or improvements. They can be implemented, but are not essential for the successful completion of the project.
A utility analysis allows you to compare different alternative solutions based on defined criteria. Each criterion is weighted, and the individual solutions are evaluated. This provides you with an objective basis for decision-making and enables you to select the best alternative in a transparent manner.
Requirements can vary widely from project to project. These include, for example, functional requirements, quality requirements, or specifications regarding speed, response times, and reliability.
In addition, there are requirements for the project organization itself, such as reporting, status tracking, documentation, and collaboration within the project team.
A backlog is a key tool, especially in agile projects. It is where requirements for the product or project are collected, described, and prioritized.
Not all requirements need to be implemented immediately. Instead, a decision is made for each sprint as to which items will provide the greatest benefit and should therefore be addressed next. New requirements can be added and reprioritized at any time.
Traceability means that every requirement remains traceable throughout the entire course of the project. It is always clear who originated the requirement, where it was implemented, and how it was incorporated into the product or project.
This makes it possible to verify at the end whether the requirement was actually implemented as originally described and expected.
