Project Requirements Capture
One of the reasons for project failures is the absence of or misunderstanding of the underlying requirements for the project.
At Action-Fraction we understand that capturing and documenting requirements on a project is one of the most challenging tasks. Businesses that complete this thoroughly and correctly will benefit from:
• Smoother run projects
• More likely to keep within pre-defined timescales
• No perceived scope creep
• Within budget
• No misunderstandings or mis-communication between client, suppliers and provider
Our Approach to Requirements Capture
We involve all stakeholders and at the very least, ideally look to involve the sponsor and client in the process, to ensure collaboration and agreement.
To determine the project priorities, so that once the requirements are agreed and understood, a priority value is put against each priority.
It is important to determine the success criteria and all parties should agree on these outputs for the project.
Put a process in place for requesting changes or modifications to the original project plan to that change control operates correctly throughout the project.
A simple procedure should be put in place to ensure effective lines of communication are maintained between all parties throughout the project.
When working with you on your requirements capture, we work within the culture of your business and team dynamics. Our ultimate aim is that your project team are confident that the requirements are well captured and defined, suppliers have an understanding of what is required of them and the project sponsor is certain of what is being delivered for them.
