IT:AD:OCRRA

Summary

An acronym for a format in which to define actionable Requirements, which in themselves should be IT:AD:SMART

Note

Objective:
- What is the desired outcome?
* Context:
- Under what circumstances is this requirement applicable?
* Rational:
- Why?
References:
- Where can one find information to understand what to do, and how to do it?
Acceptance:
- What defines whether the above has been applied correctly?

ACID

Advantages:
- Improves on IT:AD:PLANGUAGE: in that Context is defined.
Considerations:
- Has Context - but does specify not have Exceptions of the Context.
Disadvantages:
- Doesn't have Tag defined, to differentiate it from Objective.
- Objective is unclear to some extent as it can interpreted as the Quality desired, or the Action desired.

See IT:AD:ART ICE for a small improvement.

IT:AD:New Zealand Information Security Manual uses something akin to “OCCR”, without the “A”.
