These are the externally-specified requirements for your system to meet. Be aware that, if you can demonstrate that one or more of these requirements are detrimentally driving your design, you can request relief from those specific requirements. Although the requirements are organized based on the group it affects the most, all team members are bound by all requirements.
These are what are known in the business as the "Level 1" requirements - they're the top-level requirements that drive the program. Based on these and your analyses, you should be deriving increasingly more detailed sets of requirements, focusing down on your specialties and specific tasks.
We reserve the right to add requirements! Ideally, all of the Level 1 requirements would be "cast in stone" at the beginning of the program, but I can't think of a single instance (in this class or in the "real world") where that really happened...
