Assessment of User Requirements: Specific requirements
What are subjects/objects for the business?
What characteristics describe each object?
What unique characteristic distinguishes each object from other objects of the same type?
How do you use this data (e.g, summary reports)?
Over what period of time are you interested in this data?
Are all instances of each object the same?
What events occur that imply associations between various objects?
Is each activity or event always handled the same way or are there special circumstances?
Goals of analysis of user requirements: collect a list of business goals, entities to track, a database schema, and sample report outputs.
