Requirements Mapping
Also called: Software Requirements
The process of translating validated workflow maps into specific, traceable software development specifications. Each requirement defines what the software must do, who uses it, and what defines success.
Why It Matters in Construction
Requirements that do not trace back to workflows produce features no one uses. Well-defined requirements reduce development time, cost, and revision cycles.
Common Examples
- Translating a change order workflow into screen designs, data fields, and automation rules.
- Defining acceptance criteria for each software function based on operational outcomes.
- Organizing requirements by workflow priority rather than feature category.
