What is the goal of 'Requirements Analysis and Design Definition'?

The goal of 'Requirements Analysis and Design Definition' is to assist in structuring and organizing requirements to meet stakeholder needs effectively. This process involves examining and refining the gathered requirements to ensure that they accurately represent the needs of stakeholders and provide a clear path for design and solution development.

This phase is critical because it ensures that all requirements are aligned with business objectives and priorities. By structuring and organizing the requirements, business analysts can ensure that they are comprehensive, manageable, and specified in a way that facilitates clear communication among stakeholders and team members. This thorough analysis leads to a well-defined design that addresses stakeholder needs and expectations.

While producing requirements documentation is a key outcome, it is part of a larger objective of understanding and organizing those requirements effectively. Allocating resources or creating marketing strategies, on the other hand, falls outside the scope of requirements analysis and design definition, which is specifically focused on understanding and defining what needs to be achieved in terms of stakeholder requirements.
