1. Requirements Management Plan - Documents Author: Oldřich Vašut Course: SAN 2008

2. Outline • Introduction • What is RM Plan? • RM Plan description, relationships to other plans • Documents

3. Introduction to Requirements Management • Requirements management involves establishing and maintaining agreement between customer and developer on both technical and non-technical requirements. This agreement forms the basis for estimating, planning, performing, and tracking project activities throughout the project and for maintaining and enhancing developed software.

4. Introduction to RM - Key activities • planning the requirements phase • establishing the requirements process • controlling requirements changes • minimizing the addition of new requirements (scope creep) • tracking progress • resolving issues with customers and developers • holding requirements reviews

5. Requirements Management Plan • A requirements management plan is a component of the project management plan. Generally, the purpose of RM is to ensure customer and developer have a common understanding of what the requirements for an undertaking are. Several subordinate goals must be met for this to take place: in particular, requirements must be of good quality and change must be controlled. The plan documents how these goals will be achieved. Depending on your project standards, a variety of sections might be included in your RM plan.

6. Sections of RM Plan • introduction to RM and document overview • document scope • issues affecting implementation of the plan, such as training on the RM tool • applicable documents, such as policies and standards • terms and definitions used in the plan - if your use of the term “requirement” includes several requirement categories, define it here • methods and tools that will be used for the RM process (or the requirements for selecting a tool if one is not selected) • the RM process, including any diagrams of the process • authorities and responsiblities of participants • strategy for achieving requirement quality, including traceability and change control
