In this chapter, we defined and distilled two more requirement domain entities: capabilities and features. We learned how to use them alongside goals and stakeholders in order to model our requirements in a requirements model, using impact mapping. Knowing what these four entities are about and how they are related is the first step in the requirements management workflow that we'll be detailing in this book.

We'll be delving in greater detail into how this mental process works in Chapter 5, Discovering and Analyzing Requirements, in the Discovering Requirements section, where we will also be applying effective techniques to help us discover and analyze requirements.

This chapter also introduced BDD. BDD is what we do after we have discovered and analyzed our requirements. Specifically, BDD will help us refine our requirements...
