RequirementsQuestions

Last edit November 20, 2000
In conducting requirements sessions there are various questioning technologies that have helped myself and teams at HP.

General Questions [1]
  • What do you want?
  • What will having X get you?
  • How will you know you have X?
  • What will getting X enable you to do?

Precision questions
  • Why are we discussing this now?
  • What do we mean?
  • What are we assuming?
  • How do we know this is true?
  • What caused this?
  • What will be the effects
  • What should be done?

SMART requirements[2]. For a given requirement is it
  • Specific?
  • Measurable?
  • Attainable?
  • Realizable?
  • Testable?
