Requirements validation – Checking that the documented requirements and models are consistent and meet the stakeholder's needs. Only if the final draft passes the validation process, the RS becomes official.
Before the project begins, stakeholders verify the problem and goals are accurately described in the problem statement. Once approved, the project reviews it. This also helps define project scope. [5] The problem statement is referenced throughout the project to establish focus within the project team and verify they stay on track.
Requirements specified to achieve the end result. The overall definition of what the project is supposed to accomplish, and a specific description of what the end result should be or accomplish. A major component of scope is the quality of the final product. The amount of time put into individual tasks determines the overall quality of the project.
