Why You Need Software Requirements Documentation
2 minute read
The more you know about what you need your software to do, the faster you will get the right result. Defining and structuring your requirements is preparation of great importance before you start developing a product.
Requirements can supplement project documentation. Leading companies that take care of requirement traceability don’t have to waste time preparing additional project
documentation. Modern agile teams are often interdisciplinary and consist of people with
different skillsets, from coding to marketing. Requirements describe all these aspects of a
product to provide a single source of truth for everyone involved in the project and allow
them to see how their work fits into the bigger picture.
Requirements that are clear and measurable allow you to check whether they have been met or not at any moment, so you can implement changes before the project becomes
unprofitable.
