Requirements Definition and Scoping

Working alongside stakeholders, we document technical and functional requirements in detail. Scope management, risk identification and change control keep project goals explicit and expectations managed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between functional and technical requirements?

A functional requirement defines what the system must do, for example letting a user place a fund purchase order. A technical requirement defines how the system will work, covering performance, security, integration and infrastructure needs.

How are requirements gathered?

Requirements are gathered through stakeholder interviews, workshops, and reviews of existing systems and documents. The needs collected are prioritized and brought together in a single document approved by all stakeholders.

Why does a scope document matter?

A scope document makes clear what will and will not be done in the project. Teams then work from the same expectations, and scope creep and later disagreements are kept to a minimum.

How are risks handled when writing the scope?

As requirements are written, technical, operational and compliance risks are identified as well. Each risk gets a likely impact and a mitigation, so problems become visible before the project starts.

Can we get just the scoping work for a project our own team will build?

Yes. The requirements and scope document can be prepared for your in-house software team or for another vendor. It is written clearly enough for the development team to turn it directly into a work plan.
