must be measurable so that the functional and physical architectures can be evalu-
ated to ensure compliance.

Project assessment tasks
The sustainment analysis tasks address analysis of the software requirements 
against project objectives, plans, and resource constraints to ensure that the require-
ments can be satisfied. Risks that are inherent in the requirements must be consid-
ered to provide an acceptable probability of project success.
8.5.1 
Assess requirements sensitivity
The software requirements must be evaluated to determine to what extent the 
viability of the project is influenced by risks. Sensitivity and risk analyses
4
 are 
concerned with factors and combinations of factors that may lead to unfavorable 
consequences. These factors must be identified in the project framework as risks or 
assumptions. The set of software requirements may need to be modified to improve 
the probability of project success.
