What is the goal of verifying requirements?

The goal of verifying requirements is fundamentally about ensuring that the requirements accurately reflect the needs and intentions of the stakeholders, primarily confirming their alignment with the business requirements. This process involves checking that the documented requirements are complete, unambiguous, and feasible, thereby validating that the outputs of the project will meet the desired objectives and expectations of the business.

By focusing on verifying requirements, the project team can mitigate misunderstandings and misinterpretations that might lead to inadequate solutions that do not satisfy the intended business goals. This verification process is critical for establishing a clear and consistent understanding of what the project is supposed to deliver, which is essential for successful project outcomes and overall stakeholder satisfaction.
