What distinguishes transitional requirements from other types?

Transitional requirements are unique because they specifically define the conditions and criteria necessary to transition from the current state to the desired future state of the solution. These requirements are essential for ensuring that all necessary aspects of the transition are considered and addressed. They may include technical configurations, user training, or any other operational conditions that must be met to facilitate a smooth move to the new system or process.

Understanding transitional requirements is crucial for managing change effectively and ensuring that stakeholders are prepared for the new implementations. The focus on implementation conditions distinguishes them from other requirement types, which may focus more broadly on features or functions of the system itself, user acceptance, or information gathering.
