Themes & Epics

Themes are the most abstract form of a requirement in Agile or SCRUM. It is a group of features and user stories that share a common attribute, and for convenience, they are grouped together. An Epic is a large story that cannot be completed in a single sprint. Epics are a little less abstract and a little more detailed writings of requirements than a Theme. And can be broken down into smaller User stories.

NFRs

Non Functional Requirements (a.k.a NFRs) correspond to technical aspects such as security, reliability, performance, scalability, and usability. They run as a parallel course against functional stories ensuring the system remains stable and available.

  • While functional requirements focus on Logic, Process, functionality and workflow
  • NFRs focus on system attributes like Security, Reliability, Stability and Availability which are also equally essential. Typically it is the core Engineering team that handles the NFRs
