Functional Vs. Non-Functional 

Hello Everyone,

I just started as a BA about a month and a half ago.  So far, I love it, and it has been amazing!  The only thing I seem to be having a rough time with is distinguishing the difference between FR, and NFR's.  I know they say the "ility" words tend to lean more towards the NF side, and that functional is more of what the system shall do, but is there anything actually within the requirement itself that can help me point out the difference??

 

Thank you all so much in advance!

Jim K.

How do you discover and elicit non-functional requirements?

How do you categorize non-functional requirements?

Let us know if you need more details.

It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven.
