No way, it’s too specific about the implementation!

I think it should stay, it outlines the data type clearly.

Wait, why does it not mention sync frequency? Seems important!

I agree, it’s more about the solution than the need.

It should be revised, definitely states a solution!

I lean towards option D since it does explain why the synchronization is necessary, but I wonder if it’s enough to keep it as is.

I feel like option A could be valid because it does mention the data types and source systems, which are important for understanding the requirement.

I think option B makes sense since it feels like the requirement is jumping to a solution instead of outlining the actual business need.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about requirements needing to focus on the "what" rather than the "how." So maybe we should revise it?

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I'll need to review the OSHA regulations more closely to be confident in my answer.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I'm leaning towards option B, setting the Unique String value to 'Error' in the Duplicate Handling options. That seems like it would be a straightforward way to stop the import if duplicates are found. But I'm also curious about option D, making sure the EnableSharedNodes property is set to False. I'll have to think about that one a bit more.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Does modifying the action group actually meet the goal of ensuring the new security admin receives the alerts instead of me? I'll need to double-check the details.
