Abstract
Writing good requirements is difficult. Interpreting bad requirements is even tougher. In this section we will define requirements from a couple of different perspectives, discuss how the different perspectives work together, and list some general recommendations about each. We will also cover the roles the developers play in the requirements process and why developing and interpreting requirements are important skills. As with many of the topics in this book, there are countless permutations of the concepts we are trying to cover and other works that are dedicated solely to the topic of requirements. Here we present a general overview with an emphasis on aspects that are important to developers from an enterprise or large organization perspective.
