Requirements Capturing by the System Architect

abstract The basis of a good system architecture is the availability and understanding of the requirements. This presentation shows how a system architect can capture the requirements and how to use these requirements in the context of the product creation process.

The notion of "business key drivers" is introduced and a method is described to link these key drivers to the product specification.
