12. Glossary
Content
The most important domain and technical terms that your stakeholders use when discussing the system.
You can also see the glossary as source for translations if you work in a multi-language environment (i.e. in offshore development models).
Motivation
You should clearly define your terms, so that all stakeholders
- have an identical understanding of these termes
- do not use synonyms and homonyms
Form
- A simple table with columns <Term> and <Definition>
- Potentially more columns for translations
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| <Term-1> | <definition-1> |
| <Term-2> | <definition-2> |
Examples
