In our efforts to make system requirements “good,” we often end up making them “bad.” It is proposed that the real goal should be to make requirements BaD—balanced and dynamic. This paper describes why the so‐called “good” requirements are really, in the larger sense, bad for success of the system and the organization that sponsors it. The paper will explain what it means to have “balanced and dynamic” requirements. Times have changed—the systems engineering discipline needs to change its methods to keep up with the global trade situation. For this, we need better tools and techniques that support the BaD approach.
