Requirements Traceability,<\/a> Requirements Impact Analysis and Propagation and Requirement Deliverables.<\/p>\n2. Changes in Baselined Requirements in the implementation phase, after Sign off<\/h3>\n
Customers often send requests during the implementation phase to change even the baselined requirements and that too after the Business Requirements have been signed off. \u00a0However, not all change requests corresponding to the requirements in the baseline need to be included. Every change has to be placed to the Change Review Board for approval. After understanding and identifying the risks, if any, in implementing the change requests; those are to be taken forward for implementation in the current or future releases. Analysts can use a model to assess the risks and be ready to answer the degree of impact for the change.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0Stakeholders are unable to communicate their actual needs<\/h3>\n
It is difficult for an analyst to be present in all the project meetings that are being held simultaneously by different stakeholders belonging to different groups. So the analyst should assign specific users who would be responsible for each of the elicitations and act as coordinators between the customer representatives and the project engineering team. The users would interpret the customers\u2019 actual needs and convert those to functional requirements to the project team. If proper documentation is not received from the customer, then this would lead to further confusion. The analyst would also escalate it as project risk, if it resides as an issue during the project.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0Contract and Scope Undefined for the Project<\/h3>\n
Once the project is formally declared to be started, the first step for the analyst would be to focus on reviewing the requirements and define the boundary scope. In the second step,\u00a0 the analyst should clarify the original understandings and set the customer expectations, if there were any changes being requested through the Change Management procedure.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0No Defined Prioritizations for Requested Enhancements<\/h3>\n
If you as an analyst are coordinating a project implementation, you should first pay attention to what the client needs now.\u00a0 Most of the clients are unable to define their priorities correctly and often seek for what they \u2018want\u2019 rather than what they actually \u2018need\u2019. This may risk the project to a great extent.<\/p>\n
An analyst has a very important role to play in this situation. Through regular meetings, he or she needs to negotiate with the client to define the priority list and segregate their requirements into various categories like Urgent, Very High, High, Medium and Low.This would help to set the customer expectation on one hand and the engineering team to deliver the items as per the priority on the other.<\/p>\n
Project risks mostly occur due to unidentified risks during the Requirements gathering, analysis and planning phases. These can be mitigated if the analysts identify these early, and preventive measures are taken promptly.<\/p>\n
