Requirements Definition
A Requirements Definition document should specify the expected results of the project, and the inputs on which those results should be based. The requirements document expands on a Project Charter document, providing detailed objectives the project must accomplish. Requirements are often couched in terms of "the product must do ____", or the service needs to ____". The best requirement statement is written as a simple sentence that expresses one specific function that needs to be performed by the end product based on a given set of inputs. Sometimes the requirements definition process can be subdivided into Business Requirements and Technical Requirements, although the technical requirements are usually irrelevant from the business perspective.

If statutory laws are encoded to software, however, law and requirement are identical. Requirements Document(s) are the basis for project scope definition and control. Project success depends almost entirely on simplicity and clarity of requirement statements. For more information refer to: Project Requirements Template
