# Step 4: Identify the technical requirements
<a name="step4-hierarchical-model"></a>

This example doesn't have any specific technical requirements, which are outside the scope of this example. In real cases, it's a best practice to complete this step and to validate that all technical requirements are fulfilled before proceeding with development and deployment. You can use the [example questionnaire](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/prescriptive-guidance/latest/dynamodb-data-modeling/template-tech-req.html) to complete this step in your business case. Additionally, we recommend validating the [DynamoDB service quotas](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/ServiceQuotas.html) to make sure that there are no hard limits in your designed solution.
