Keep track of changes to those requirements

Delegate all requirement decisions to the development team without customer involvement

Explicitly document the customer's requirements

Correct Answer

(1) Explicitly document the customer's requirements

(2) Keep track of changes to those requirements

(3) Analyse the impact of changes on the system before accepting them
