Business

Business needs describe the specific organizational results a project is meant to achieve, recorded in the project vision statement to guide decisions and measure success.

Key Points

  • State the "why" of the project by defining the outcomes and benefits the organization expects.
  • Are captured in the project vision statement and used to align stakeholders and priorities.
  • Should be measurable and tied to KPIs or benefit targets to verify success.
  • Inform scope, backlog prioritization, acceptance criteria, and definition of done in agile work.

Example

A bank launches a project with business needs to increase monthly active mobile users by 20% and reduce account opening time from 15 to 5 minutes within two quarters. These outcomes are written in the project vision statement and drive backlog prioritization and success metrics.
