CAPM Practice: Validate requirements through product delivery

Requirements quality ultimately shows in net value: did building what the requirements specified create more value than it cost? Perfect requirements documents that produce low business value represent a requirements quality failure. The real test of BA work quality is whether delivered solutions achieve meaningful business outcomes.

**Why not B:** Net value is measurable beyond commercial products with clear revenue. Internal projects deliver value through cost savings, efficiency gains, risk reduction, and employee satisfaction. Nonprofit and government projects deliver value through mission outcomes. Value measurement frameworks exist for all these contexts.

**Why not C:** Measuring requirements quality by specification thoroughness alone misses the point. A thorough specification that captures the wrong requirements produces low business value. The ultimate test of requirements quality is whether the delivered solution achieves meaningful outcomes, not how detailed the documentation was.

**Why not D:** Net value delivered is directly related to requirements quality. Requirements determine what gets built, and what gets built determines the value delivered. If requirements fail to capture high-value needs or specify low-value features, the net value outcome reflects that requirements quality failure.
