Analyses and Tradeoffs

Kim R. Fowler,    IEEE Fellow, Consultant

Analyses and tradeoffs are absolutely necessary to the success of product design and development. Analyses form the feedback between requirements and design. Analyses gauge how well a design meets the requirements. If a design does not match the requirements, then either the design or the requirements need modification.

This chapter provides the motivation for analyses with the business case. It then discusses tradeoffs that you might make to produce a design concept. Then, it discusses a number of different analyses that you might use to refine a design.
