nfr-checklist

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the often-overlooked but critical process of defining, documenting, and prioritizing Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs), ensuring that crucial quality attributes like performance, security, and reliability are addressed early in the architecture and development lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Systematic NFR Elicitation: Guides users through 11 quality attributes (ISO 25010/TOGAF) via an interactive dialog.
• Measurable Scenarios: Helps define Quality Attribute Scenarios with clear stimulus, response measures, and thresholds.
• Prioritization: Facilitates prioritization using MoSCoW and Architecture Relevance (H/M/L).
• Architecture Tactic Derivation: Suggests concrete architecture tactics and identifies trade-offs.
• Output Formats: Generates comprehensive NFR catalogs, summary tables, NFR cards, and architecture implication reports.
• Use Case: A Solution Architect needs to gather NFRs for a new e-commerce platform. This Skill will guide them through defining requirements for availability (e.g., 99.95% uptime), performance (e.g., P95 API response time < 200ms), and security (e.g., PCI-DSS compliance), deriving necessary architecture tactics like load balancing and encryption, and producing a structured catalog for review.
