What are the Product Requirements?

Welcome to a fascinating journey through the Spring Framework!

In this chapter, we will cover the world of the so-called “business” or “product” requirements that can be used across any kind of development work, regardless of the tech stack. These are the system’s heart and soul, the first thing we need to know about our apps. Requirements are what make a product tick. After all, if we’re creating software, we need to have a reason why. It’s important to understand that best practices for software development are not just required in the middle or end of development, but instead, they begin right as we start conceptualizing the project.

That being said, in this chapter, we’re first going to figure out the problems that we’re solving and then we’ll begin to clearly articulate the solutions to those problems.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:

• Unlocking your finances with the Spring Framework
• How is this book structured to help you succeed?
• Why do we need to understand business requirements?
• Crystal-clear needs – ensuring businesses get requirements right
• The pitfalls of product requirements

The world of business requirements is packed with insights waiting to be uncovered. As I dove deeper, I was very surprised by the treasures I could mine from past experiences. Missing out on these could mean wasted time, money, and effort. Imagine you’re building your dream house without a blueprint. Sounds risky, right? That’s exactly how vital our software’s blueprint—the requirements—is.
