Key terms

Requirement. An expressed demand, desire, expectation, and/or wish to have or not to have a certain product and/or a certain capability, condition, feature, and/or property. The plural term, requirements, may refer to the aggregate of various requirements that the product owner or another authority for the requested product and/or its development process has approved, verified, and/or validated.
  • Product epic. A detailed description of a proposed product that is designed to make its potential consumer understand what this product shall do. At CNM Cyber, the Epic is any wikipage that describes a desired product.
  • User story. A brief description of a solution requirement to a desired system that is written from the point of view of a customer or end-user of this system. In other words, the story is a high-level, informal, brief, non-technical description of a solution capability that provides value to its stakeholder. The story is typically one or two sentences long and provides the minimum information necessary to allow a developer to estimate the work required to implement it. In order to ..., as a ..., I need to ... or, using another format, In order to [achieve some goal], as a [type of user], I need to [perform some task or execute some function] is a generic example of the story.
Requirements specification. A requirement in a form of technical description of a proposed system.

Script

The requirements represent the visions of what needs to be developed. Production of requirements is neither an easy or straightforward process.
Initially, the CNM Cyber Team creates product epics. At CNM Cyber, they are the wikipages that describe the new deliverables that need to be developed.
These product epics are helpful to clarify the vision of new deliverables, but they are rarely clear for developers to implement and not useful for the CNM Cyber Team to accept developers' work.
To make so, the product epics are chunked in user stories. Every story represents one function or feature in a simple format such as



one. Second, the Friends Of CNM implements the requirements and passes the developed increments back to the CNM Cyber Team.


What CNM Page Be is the successor lectio.
