The document outlines the project life cycle and work efforts for requirements analysis where documentation is already available. It involves analysis of existing documents by an analysis team along with business stakeholders and PMO. Key deliverables include a requirements management plan, functional requirements document, use case documents, and data and non-functional requirements documents. Metrics are used to track scope, progress, issues and risks. Stakeholder reviews are conducted and feedback is logged.

4. Metrics Coverage Objective
Parking Lot Any unresolved issues during • Prevent long requirement sessions on topics that
Requirements Sessions to be documented can be resolved offline
with item owner and a target resolution • Track turn around time for outstanding discussion
date, also stating priority of items that points
would impact the momentum of the
requirements analysis phase
Issues Log Known Issues that need Project sponsor • Track decisions that need Project sponsor inputs
validation • Turn around time needed to resolve open items
Risk Log List of risks due to project or outside • Identify and manage know project and external
factors risks
• Track ageing of the risks
Review Log Feedback on published documents from • Identify feedback from stakeholders
review teams • Use the data to analyze the efficiency of the
analysis process
• Identify areas where business point of view is
