System Requirements Document (SRD)

The structure of a System Requirements Document (SRD) is as follows:

• Part 1: General Description. Information that relates to the overall system definition. Also identifies the origin of the need, and puts it in an operational systems / equipments context.
• Part 2: Key System Requirements. The Key System Requirements (KSRs) drawn from Part 3.
• Part 3: Individual System Requirements and Constraints. The complete, structured, set of individual system requirements and constraints.
• Part 4: Context Documents. Context documents and supporting papers that make the SRD self-contained.
• Part 5: Glossary. Definitions and explanations for all terms that could cause confusion.

The SRD should be closely related to the User Requirements Document (URD) in terms of overall look, feel and structure. The readership will be different, and the document should be written using language suitable for contractors and stakeholders.
