Documenting and Managing Requirements

Requirement Information Delivery

Communications that occur during the Requirements Gathering phase of a project often take the form of informal conversations and e-mail messages between the project team and the business customers. Some projects may have a shared repository where documents can be reviewed simultaneously by multiple people, and may include electronic approvals; other projects may depend on stakeholders receiving e-mailed documents to be printed and filed in project binders. Regardless of the delivery method, it is a primary Business Analyst function to ensure that all project stakeholders have the appropriate requirements information to perform their roles within the project.
