This informal document is developed incrementally and
iteratively in parallel with other documents:
Competitor Profiles of other competing business
enterprises.
Market
Analysis, which summarizes and organizes the
information in the competitor profiles.
This is a separate working document for the sake of ease
of use and parallel requirements engineering. It is optional
in that its contents could be directly inserted into the
market analysis document or into a requirements management
tool that stores requirements information and thus enables
the automatic production of the market analysis document (or
even individual competitor profiles if needed).
This is an informal document that need not be separately
maintained once its contents are incorporated into the market
analysis.
Evaluation and approval may be:
Done on a group basis.
Optional and instead handled during the evaluation and
approval of the associated market analysis document.
