The business problem

The team needed a clearly defined business problem and a controlled project foundation before any detailed requirements or solution design work could responsibly begin.

Objective

Produce the core project-foundation deliverables, identify stakeholders, separate facts from assumptions and establish a disciplined approach to elicitation and requirements.

Discovery

  • Review of the documents already available to the team.
  • Identification of what was known, what was assumed and what was missing.
  • Preparation of stakeholder questions and validation points.
  • Review of assumptions, constraints and early risks.

Analysis

  • Business problem analysis and scope definition.
  • Stakeholder analysis and requirement ownership.
  • Information-gap assessment.
  • Risk identification and success-measure definition.

Outcome

Roles, responsibilities and formal project documentation are established and the requirements work is under way. The project is ongoing — no final solution or measurable business result exists yet.

Business value

Reduces the risk of designing a solution around assumptions or an incomplete view of stakeholder needs.

Requirements work has to separate confirmed facts from assumptions and name the person accountable for approval.
