DESCRIPTION
In May 2011 I presented this discussion of why project scope is driven by requirements, how requirements change is inevitable, and how that makes good project estimates very difficult. I then present one useful technique for managing this challenge.TRANSCRIPT

IIBA/BABOK • When reading the BABOK Guide it is vital that
‘requirements’ be understood in the broadest possible sense.
• Requirements include but are not limited to past, present and future conditions or capabilities in an enterprise and descriptions of organisational structures, roles, processes, policies, rules and information systems.
IEEE • A condition or capability needed by a user to
solve a problem or achieve an objective • A condition or capability that must be met or
possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed document
• A documented representation of a condition or capability as in (1) or (2)
