Requirements Classification Schema

BABOK classification of requirements as business, stakeholder, solution (functional and non-functional), and transition requirements.

Definition

Business requirements state goals and objectives; stakeholder requirements state needs of stakeholders; solution requirements describe capabilities and qualities; transition requirements describe temporary capabilities needed to move from current to future state.

Example

'Reduce call volume by 20%' is a business requirement; 'system shall export to CSV' is a functional requirement.

Exam tip

Transition requirements are temporary, such as data migration and training.
