    <sectionDescription>&lt;p&gt;
    Make sure that you have found the root cause of the Stakeholder's problem or need. Often, Stakeholders define solutions
    rather than stating the problem that they are experiencing or the pain they are experiencing. Subsequently, they may
    not have identified the problem correctly or the correct solution for it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    For example, &quot;We can't support customers who want to buy online&quot; is better than &quot;We need an on-line purchasing system&quot;.

    <sectionDescription>Make sure you didn't miss any Stakeholders. If you did, you probably do not yet have all of the perspectives that you need
to consider.</sectionDescription>

    <sectionDescription>Define what is &lt;strong&gt;in&lt;/strong&gt; and what is &lt;strong&gt;out&lt;/strong&gt; of system boundaries. This is a critical step in
defining the scope of work.</sectionDescription>

    <sectionDescription>Don't forget about the non-functional requirements and constraints. These are often the largest cost of development.</sectionDescription>

    These non-technical constraints often lead to problems later.

feature.</sectionDescription>

    Check that conflicting requirements do not exist. If you find conflicts, resolve them now.
