This is a detailed how-to guide to ensuring your requirements are fully captured. It is a useful guidebook with processes you will tweak and adapt to each project plan. Is anything surprising or new to you? You will not use all of these approaches for every project, but having them at hand is useful when planning your next project.
Requirements Management
Communications
The communications necessary during the requirements gathering and management activities will be determined by the project purpose, stakeholders, and environment. For smaller projects, a requirements communication plan may be deemed as not necessary; for larger projects, a formal plan may be an essential ingredient to ensure that all team and management staff are coordinated in their efforts and that all project objectives are being met.
Regardless of the level of formality of the project, the goals associated with requirements communications center around the concept that all stakeholders should share a common understanding of the requirements.
