Understanding the functional requirements matrix
The functional requirements matrix captures more granular details and elaborated functional decomposition requirements. For each BRD requirement, we will add more granularity, which may result in multiple functional requirements for each BRD requirement. We take the business requirement matrix and add additional columns to capture the checklist fields for other teams – for example, for the development team to check for requirement completeness, feasibility, and so on and for the testing team to check for requirement clarity, testability, and so on. One important column that sits next to the BRD summary is the FD summary. It spells out the description in more detail so that the development and testing teams can get more clarity and details about the requirement. Feel free to use technical jargon so that the team developing the functionality is more comfortable. You do not need to make this functional requirement matrix too complex...
