Requirements Validation

Ensuring requirements align with business requirements and deliver value to stakeholders.

Definition

Validation asks 'are we building the right thing?', while verification checks requirements are well formed, consistent, and of sufficient quality ('built right').

Example

Stakeholders confirm the requirements will achieve the goal of reducing churn.

Exam tip

Verify = quality of requirements; validate = alignment to value.
