Project Scoping & Requirements Planning

Print E-mail
Bring in one or two IAG consultants to help kick-start your project. A professional requirements facilitator will lead a scoping meeting with your key stakeholders to quickly define the necessary initial scope and requirements for the project. Using industry best practices, these seasoned requirements consultants can lead the upfront analysis of the project/product objectives and produce the deliverables required to meet your initial project planning milestones.

 
Typical Duration:  2-5 days on average 
Typical Resources:  1-2 Requirements Consultants 
Typical Format:  1. Initial Meeting with Project Lead and Sponsor: 1-4 hrs
2. Scoping Meeting with main Stakeholders: ½ day to 3 days
3. Preparation of Scope/High-level Requirements Document ½ - 1 day
4. Preparation of Requirements Work Plan: ½ -1 day
5. Deliverable and Plan Review: ½ -1 day 
Typical Work Products:   High-level Requirements Document
 Project Charter (may be an input, output, or future deliverable)
 Requirements Work Plan 

When does this service make sense? 
     You need to determine priority/funding on one or more undefined projects.
     Project Charter has been completed/approved and high-level scope/requirements and initial requirements gathering strategy needs to be determined.
     Project Charter needs to be written.
     A complicated, cross-functional project needs to be scoped.
     A project requires a professional outside facilitator to obtain consensus and agreement to a project’s scope before things go too far.
 

 

Testimonials

“We like IAG’s Requirements Discovery Process because it puts business and system specification together in one package.  It provided us with a blueprint we could follow for collecting and displaying the business requirements for the system.  We realized that if we are disciplined enough to follow the process, we can improve the delivery of the project.”

“This approach helped to shorten the process of gathering requirements and focused us on the important elements.  We can also look at the entire project as opposed to a linear one-dimensional view.  IAG kept us focused on requirements and away from the design phase.”
