Definition
An organisational rule that users have to follow when performing their tasks.
Notes:
- Organisational requirements are often requirements for the users that originate from requirements for the interactive system or that lead to requirements for the interactive system.
- Organisational requirements formulate rules about how users are to perform their tasks, e.g. “The radiological assistant must keep an eye on the patient while adjusting the patient table.”
- In practice, the term “business requirement” is sometimes used. While business requirements provide the rationale for why an interactive system is to be created or purchased for the organisation, organisational requirements are requirements that have to be implemented within the project and are relevant for the operation of the interactive system.
Example in SAMS context
The decision support system must provide all measurement values in metric units in order to meet EU regulations.
