Analyze Requirements to Achieve Balance

Stakeholder needs and constraints can address cost, schedule, performance, functionality, reusable components, maintainability, or risk.

• Use proven models, simulations, and prototyping to analyze the balance of stakeholder needs and constraints. Results of the analyses can be used to reduce the cost of the product and the risk in developing the product.
• Perform a risk assessment on the requirements and functional architecture.
• Examine product life-cycle concepts for impacts of requirements on risks.
