Requirements Capture : Tips for Business Partnerships

We undertake all our projects with business intent - with a purpose of converting them into successfully delivered projects of quality. So,it is a good idea to put down the business requirements in a concise document before moving ahead with any other details of the project. Our business partners will find the following information useful.

The document that covers the business requirements is called the "Vision and Scope Document". The document covers the vision of the project, which in the long run, is what the project will accomplish. The scope part of the document will clearly spell out what would be taken up and what would be delivered.

We encourage you to use the template created by Mr. Karl E Wiegers, a specialist in requirements engineering and software process improvement. The template can be found on Vision and Scope Template. This document gives you a brief description about how to use this template.

Please do check Requirements Capture documents. This links to a collection of documents created for a hypothetical project. Please unzip this file and refer COS_vision_and_scope.doc to see a good example of vision and scope document.

There are four sections to this document and each one of them is important. Even if you can manage couple of sentences, it is better than having nothing at all.

Benefits of creating vision and scope document

1. Earning credibility
The customer can see that you are adding value by capturing project requirements. He can also see a tangible product at the end of the requirement capture exercise.

2. Ensuring project success
It is essential for all parties concerned that the project is completed successfully. Preparing a vision and scope document has significant contribution in ensuring the success of a project.

3. Ensuring project viability
Many times projects fail because the client was not clear in his mind about the project. Putting down the requirements from the business perspective would force the client to think about what he aims to accomplish with the project. Helping clients to realize this would work in your favor as a solution partner.
