Guiding principles for writing good requirements / Zuriati Yusof

In software development projects, stakeholders are usually not able to objectively describe their requirements for the proposed systems. They are not able to foresee the envisioned system when either a new system is developed or the existing system is enhanced. These inaccurate or poorly written req...
