What is the difference between Functional requirement and business requirements?..

Answer / indranil bhakat

In the domain of Business Analysis or Requirement Engineering there is no hard and fast rule; it is all guidelines. In object oriented terms it is an abstract class and the concrete implementation is driven by one’s particular need.

As per my experience, I feel a Business Requirement is something inline with the Business Goal. To accomplish a particular objective in business a Business Requirement is specified. This Business Requirement could be achieved in various ways, either with the help of IT automation, Industrial Automation, Process or Operation restructuring etc.

Now the portion of Business Requirement which would be accomplished by IT automation need to be further defined in detail. Here the Functional Requirement comes into picture. Thus, functional requirements are the ones, which would specify the behavior of the system, i.e. how the system would achieve the particular business requirement.
