👉 Duties engineering, also known as functional requirements engineering, is a critical phase in the systems engineering process where the functional and non-functional requirements of a system are defined and documented. It involves identifying what the system must accomplish, how it should perform its tasks, and the constraints under which it operates. This process includes gathering detailed requirements from stakeholders, translating these into clear and unambiguous specifications, and ensuring that all necessary functionalities are accounted for while adhering to performance, reliability, and safety standards. Effective duties engineering ensures that the final system meets user needs and expectations while remaining feasible to design, develop, and maintain.
