Step 1: Soliciting stakeholder needs and expectations
requirement specifications. The prioritization of stakeholder needs should be driven 
by the relative importance of each stakeholder class and the significance of each need 
as they relate to product acceptance. In general, 
Table 7.2
 provides a relative prioriti-
zation scale for the stakeholders involved in a typical software development effort.
