===== Will (Requirement) =====
[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:start| Return to Glossary ]]

**Will is not per se the specification of a requirement** but is used to indicate a statement of fact.  Will statements are not subject to verification.  For example:  if I want to tell you something about another system I will use “will”.  “The XYZ system will have the timing as defined in an ICD 1234.”  Or if I am giving a description of something that exists today, I will use “will”.  “This report will contain this data…”  In a statement of work (SOW) or task order for a vendor or supplier, I use will to communicate something I will do for or provide to the vendor or supplier.
