Manage the scope of the project
Module 4 described some of the ways you can gather requirements from those who have an interest in the problem solution (the stakeholders). As your project progresses, you may find that the number of proposed requirements has increased beyond what can realistically be accomplished with the number of staff and the amount of time available. This requires that you find ways to manage the scope of the project, which involves the following activities:
- Matching project requirements to the available resources (time, people, money)
- Using requirement attributes (priority, effort, risk) as a basis for determining whether features can be included
- Negotiating and limiting changes
