The hierarchy of requirements organizes requirements into levels (e.g., business needs, stakeholder
requirements, solution requirements) to ensure alignment and traceability. Let’s evaluate each
statement to determine which is false .
Key Characteristics of the Requirements Hierarchy:
Linking Requirements: The hierarchy ensures that detailed requirements are connected to higher-
level business needs and objectives.
Order of Development: The hierarchy does not dictate the sequence in which requirements should
be developed; it focuses on relationships and dependencies.
Driven by Strategy: Requirements are derived from the organization's values, strategy, and
objectives.
Traceability: The hierarchy links different types of requirements to ensure consistency and alignment.
Evaluation of Each Statement:
A . The requirements hierarchy enables detailed requirements to be linked to the business need:
This is true; the hierarchy ensures traceability between high-level and detailed requirements.
Conclusion: This is true .
B . The requirements hierarchy shows the order in which requirements should be developed:
The hierarchy does not specify the development order; it focuses on relationships and dependencies.
Conclusion: This is false .
C . Requirements are driven by the organisation's values, strategy and objectives:
This is true; requirements must align with organizational goals.
Conclusion: This is true .
D . The requirements hierarchy links different requirements to each other:
This is true; the hierarchy ensures traceability and alignment across levels.
Conclusion: This is true .
Final Recommendation:
The false statement is:
B . The requirements hierarchy shows the order in which requirements should be developed.
