SP 3.4 Analyze Requirements to Achieve Balance means to review what the
stakeholder needs with what you can really deliver in the allotted time and with
86 n Interpreting the CMMI
your allotted budget. The ???stakeholder??? mentioned here seems to relate most closely
to the customer. The customer needs tend to focus on cost, schedule, risk, and highlevel
functionality (i.e., will this thing work when you deliver it to me?). If you are
the project manager, you also need to review (and balance) what the customer needs
with what your project team can deliver. You also need to reconcile conflicting
requirements from various other stakeholders.
SP 3.5 Validate Requirements has been shortened. It used to say, ???Validate
requirements using comprehensive methods??? and advocated using multiple validation
techniques as necessary. The idea of using multiple techniques is now embedded
in the wording below the practice itself and advises us that multiple techniques
are a sign of a more mature organization. This practice is the result of incorporating
the wording from a practice in the continuous representation in the previous
CMMI.
