Project Issues

Project issues are not requirements, but rather project concerns that are brought to light by the requirements activity. We sometimes include them in a requirements specification for fear they will become lost if we do not do so. However, if your organization already has procedures in place or suitable documents or files in which to record this information, then please do not add these issues to your requirements specification.

Chapter 8, Nonfunctional Requirements, describes these types of requirements and discusses how to write them.
