Requirements Work Plan: [Your Proposed Project Name Here]

(Note: the text in RED is designed to help you write your Requirements Work Plan. Please remove all red text before submitting your assignment.)

1. Executive Summary In 2-3 paragraphs, write this Executive Summary as you would any other. Some suggestions

(you are not limited to these items): The background and purpose of the project (it is acceptable to restate some of the background

you provided in your Business Case.) Some of the key points contained in this Requirements Work Plan, such as the total number of

stakeholders identified in your stakeholder analysis section, the primary requirements collection methods to be used, and how long the requirements collection process is anticipated

to take.

2. Stakeholder Analysis  In this section, identify AND classify the project stakeholders on your project, using a

classification method and format of your choosing (stoplight chart, power/interest grid, etc.) Your stakeholder analysis should consider a minimum of 10 stakeholders.

3. Requirements Collection Methodology  In this section, identify and describe the requirements collection tool(s) you intend to

use to collect requirements for your case study project. You should plan on using a minimum of two of the collection tools identified in this week’s lecture materials. Also, be sure you explain WHY you have selected these tools (what particular benefit or risk mitigation the tool provides.)

 For each tool, identify which stakeholders will be addressed or involved, and who will perform the collection (who will lead the collection process.)

 You may use any format you like to complete this section, but you may find using a table a useful way to organize your information. For example, the columns of your table could include “Tool”, “Stakeholders”, and “Collector”. (This is just a suggestion; you will not be penalized for using another format.)

4. Collection Timetable  In this section, briefly identify a requirements collection schedule. For example, list the

activities associated with collecting requirements for your case study and how long each activity will take. Be sure to identify an overall collection timeframe (“2 weeks”, “1 month”, etc.)
