Conduct the SRR
. The software requirements review should be conducted for 
the purpose of substantiating the adequacy of the software specification(s) 
and post-development process concepts to the stakeholders. The SRR should 
focus on the state of the requirements allocation to the software product, and 
its configuration items, external interfaces, and elements of the computing 
environment. The review should focus on the architectural decisions that were 
made during the software requirements definition and any risks that have been 
identified. The purpose is not to provide a forum for nonparticipants in the soft-
ware engineering effort to approve or comprehend the software requirements; 
rather, the purpose is to confirm that the software requirements are complete and 
consistent with stakeholder needs and project objectives. To accomplish this, 
it is necessary to demonstrate that the operational problem and solution spaces 
have been adequately explored, alternative solutions have been analyzed, and
