Draft descriptions

Solution Requirements describe what characteristics a solution will have to meet the needs of the stakeholders and business. Similar to how multiple scenarios of stakeholder requirements could satisfy a business requirement, hence the need to translate and trace stakeholder requirements to business requirements, also multiple scenarios of solution requirements could satisfy a stakeholder requirement, hence the need to translate and trace stakeholder requirements to solution requirements. A few key points:

   Solution Requirements describe WHAT characteristics the solution will support.
   From a stakeholder perspective the Solution Requirements may be viewed as describing HOW the Solution Requirements will meet the stakeholder need, but even from this perspective it would define the HOW logically and at a high level rather than give details of the implementation of the solution

Solution Requirements can be further categorized into:

   Functional Requirements which describe the behavior of the solution and the information managed.   In the case of a system, these are the features and functions of the system.
   Non-Functional Requirements define the qualities of the solution or the environmental conditions under which the solution will remain effective. In terms of a technical system solution this often refers to characteristics of capacity, speed, security, availability, etc.
