BRS stands for Business Requirements Specification. It's a document that outlines the needs and expectations of a business for a new system, product, or service. Think of it as a blueprint for what you want to build.
Here are some key points about BRS:
- Purpose: It clearly describes what a new system or product should do and how it will benefit the business.
- Audience: It's written for stakeholders like project managers, developers, and business users.
- Content: It includes details like:
- Business Goals: What problems does the new system solve?
- User Requirements: How will users interact with the system?
- Functional Requirements: What specific features should the system have?
- Non-Functional Requirements: What are the performance, security, and usability expectations?
Example:
Imagine you want to create a new online store. The BRS would define:
- Business Goal: Increase sales and reach new customers.
- User Requirements: Customers should be able to easily browse products, add items to their cart, and checkout securely.
- Functional Requirements: The store should have a search function, product descriptions, and a shopping cart.
- Non-Functional Requirements: The website should be fast, secure, and easy to navigate.
By clearly defining these requirements, the BRS ensures that everyone involved in the project is on the same page and understands what needs to be built.
