Introduction

Purpose

The purpose of the Requirements Management Plan is to describe all the processes, roles and responsibilities associated with the initiation, planning, development, baselining, control, and validation of requirements.

Requirements define the scope of a project and the criteria for its success. Requirements describe what the system must do. Whether or not the system fulfills those requirements determines the success or failure of a project. Managing requirements effectively increases the probability of a project’s success. Therefore, defining clear, correct and complete requirements and managing them during the project, is critical for a system development project and for maintaining the integrity and performance of a system over time.

Scope

The Requirements Management Plan identifies the process and procedures used to plan, develop, monitor and control requirements in all stages of a project’s lifecycle. This document is the foundation for all project requirement management policies and procedures.

Comprehensive and well-defined requirements are critical to a project’s success at every step. The Feasibility Study Report cannot properly scope a project without using a robust formal requirements plan and process. The acquisition of complex systems and services cannot succeed without an excellent Statement of Work. The development and implementation of a complex system cannot be successfully delivered without a solid set of requirements as its foundation.

This Plan does not cover the processes used by the project to manage changes to requirements after they are final and baselined to design, develop, and implement.
