Prioritize Requirements
5.3.2 Description
5.3.3 Inputs
Prioritization is the act of ranking requirements to determine their relative
importance to stakeholders. When a requirement is prioritized, it is given greater
or lesser priority. Priority can refer to the relative value of a requirement, or to the
sequence in which it will be implemented. Prioritization is an ongoing process,
with priorities changing as the context changes.
Inter-dependencies between requirements are identified and may be used as the
basis for prioritization. Prioritization is a critical exercise that seeks to ensure the
maximum value is achieved.
• Requirements: any requirements in the form of text, matrices, or diagrams
that are ready to prioritize.
• Designs: any designs in the form of text, prototypes, or diagrams that are ready
to prioritize.
