Requirements Management Plan
The Requirements Management Plan is one of several project management documents that your Project Manager at Solid Design Solutions Australia (Solid Design) will create to begin your new product development project. Setting up the project for success starts with well-defined business, product, enterprise and verification/validation requirements for the project. The primary steps of creating the plan are:
- Document the business requirements for the project. This will usually include cost, time and quality constraints and objectives. Requirements related to how the new product fits into the business’s market strategy, branding and envisioned/required distribution needs also should be documented
- Review client’s enterprise environment for document control, process control protocols and tribal knowledge (SMEs). Document the related requirements for the project
- Collect requirements, engage Stakeholders and create the Product Requirements Document and begin the Requirements Traceability Matrix
- Validate requirements with Project Sponsor and key Stakeholders
- Analyse requirements in consideration of the defined scope of the project. When these are not in alignment the Project Sponsor and key Stakeholders may need to agree on making a change to the scope or change particular requirements
Within a Project Management Plan there are many sub plans related to the 10 BOMBOK® Knowledge Areas. Some may only be a paragraph in the in the Project Management Plan and will refer to related project documents that are revision controlled. Each one of these plans is created through a process of planning, collecting details, defining scope/tasks, analysing/estimating/validating and building the individual plan. Project Managers at Solid Design use these plan details to communicate project management strategy with the project sponsor, project team members and key project Stakeholders.
