Collect Requirements

The systematic activity of eliciting, recording, and controlling stakeholder needs and requirements so the project can achieve its objectives.

Key Points

  • Elicit stakeholder needs using techniques such as interviews, workshops, surveys, and observation.
  • Translate needs into clear, measurable requirements with acceptance criteria.
  • Document and maintain a requirements traceability matrix to link requirements to scope and deliverables.
  • Control requirement changes through an agreed change process to keep alignment with project objectives.

Example

For an HR system upgrade, the project manager conducts workshops with HR, IT, and compliance to gather needs like secure employee data access, reporting, and audit trails. The team documents functional and nonfunctional requirements, builds a traceability matrix, and routes any requested changes through change control before updating the baseline.
