3 Management helps to answer important questions SP 1.1: Customer defines and agrees to requirements SP 1.2: Team agrees to requirements SP 1.3: Requirement changes are managed SP 1.4: are mapped to work products SP 1.5: The Mapping is used to identify inconsistencies between project work and requirements What are the requirements? Did we understand the requirements and can we build it? Anything new? What work products depend on which requirement? Which requirements have been included in this release? Any requirement not yet implemented? Any code that does not have a requirement? wibas IT Maturity Services GmbH Management is the project s firewall Why do we do it? Define and control scope of the project. Gain consensus with customer on what to develop. Relate project s work to requirements Advice and Guidance Don't stay short on requirements and define them clearly. Define as early as possible, adding/changing later will always cost more. Customer involvement is mandatory. Set up change control early to control scope creep. Be sure to manage expectations (the project is successful if the expectations are met). Relate your work to your requirements wibas IT Maturity Services GmbH 3
