Clarifying and itemising the problem or task

At the beginning of the product development process, the task or problem to be solved is clarified and specified. The task is reformulated into requirements from the developer's point of view, focussing on the core of the problem, which leads to a simpler search for a solution. All available information is collected and supplemented and the requirements are then used for planning. The result is a structured collection of requirements on which the product development process is based. This can be adapted or supplemented in the course of the process to take changes into account.
