Project Management Orientation

Transform Needs into Requirements and Exclusions

Examine each identified need and determine whether it should be included in your project.  To make this decision, ask these questions:

 

As you think about the needs, remember what the sponsors told you.  In the end, the sponsor must agree with your plans, so involving the sponsor early in the requirements-gathering process will save you time and headaches later.

Each need that is not a requirement is an exclusion.  Document the exclusions so that the sponsor and other stakeholders know what you and your team will not provide in the project.
