Analysis of what we see
Green field project SRS is driven by
–
Focus on the specification of what we want rather than
the requirements of what we need
–
What we need to do to get the job done at a moment
in time
Brown field replacement SRS is driven by
–
Replace with same functionality in new technology
But the SRS is a lifecycle document, so…
What if someone asks “why” in 10 years time?
–
If specifications (the solution) are not linked to
requirements (the process) then how can their
importance be judged by others?
