Creating artifacts to support requirements

The first step in composing requirements is to collect and create the background information that will elicit effective requirements. This information can come in many forms, and so you can create several types of artifacts to contain it.

About this task

Create rich text documents, business process diagrams, use case diagrams, user interface sketches, storyboards to collect ideas and background information from your stakeholders. Each artifact type provides different kinds of structure and tools to provide very detailed descriptions. You can then optionally gather the artifacts into greater specification documents. From these artifacts you will select and generate requirements artifacts that will drive the next steps in your product development process.
