First paragraph, last sentence |
"In this example, there are two objective factors that should be written, as shown in Figure 4-9."
Since Figure 4-9 shows four objective factors, it should say four.
Replace original sentence with:
"In this example, there are four objective factors that should be written, as shown in Figure 4-9."

4th paragraph |
Four sentences were duplicated.
For example, it might support an overaching requirement that states that "Users can only perform actions granted by their role". The matrix defines the business rules to support those requirements, but does not help identify those overaching requirements. However, you can discover requirements when you are reviewing a Role and Permissions Matrix with the business stakeholders. The permissions or operations might trigger them to remember additional needed functionality.
