Definition
Business Requirements are the high-level needs and objectives of an organization that a project or solution aims to fulfill. They articulate what the business needs to achieve, focusing on the desired outcomes and benefits rather than the technical details of how to get there. These requirements guide the development of a product or service by ensuring alignment with strategic goals and stakeholder expectations. For instance, a business requirement might be to increase customer retention by 15% within the next fiscal year. This differs from functional requirements, which describe specific system behaviors. Business Requirements are a foundational concept addressed in project management certifications like PMP and CAPM.
