Introduction to EARS Technique
TEMPLATE
The Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS) is an approach that provides structure to requirements written in text. It makes use of a small number of keywords and a syntax (structure). Requirements are expressed in a consistent format that is easy for audiences to understand. Unlike more extensive standards, EARS requires very little training and no specialized tools.
This job aid overviews the EARS technique structure and syntax. Examples are provided for each of the syntax patterns.
Our Advanced Business Rule and Decision Analysis class covers EARS and other rule representation approaches in detail. View the course overview and outline for more information.
