- Estimate complexity with team
- Refine through backlog grooming
3. Business Process Modeling

- Design future state (TO-BE) process
- Define transition requirements
- Create RACI matrix for roles
- Document process metrics
Best Practices

- Write testable acceptance criteria
- Maintain requirements traceability matrix
- Validate requirements with real users
- Keep documentation living and updated
- Use visual models to communicate complex processes
Anti-Patterns
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Correct Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Solution in requirements | Constrains implementation | Focus on the "what", not "how" |
| Missing acceptance criteria | Unclear definition of done | Every story needs testable criteria |
| No stakeholder validation | Building wrong thing | Regular stakeholder reviews |
| Waterfall requirements | Can't adapt to change | Iterative refinement |
| Technical jargon | Business can't validate | Use business language |
