This presentation describes numerous techniques for writing software functional requirements, focused on the core objective of clear and effective communication. You’ll see multiple styles of writing functional requirements and you’ll learn many vague “weak words” to avoid.

The presentation describes several common types of requirements ambiguity and shows how to rewrite ambiguous requirements to make them clearer. We’ll also explore the common issue of having solution ideas or design constraints embedded in requirements.

Applying the techniques described in this presentation will help your requirements specifications speak more clearly to their various audiences.
