CAPM Requirements Gathering is a critical process in project management, especially when it comes to ensuring the project’s success. Task 3 focuses on this process, where you match the appropriate tools, such as user stories or use cases, to different scenarios. Identifying the best requirements-gathering approach for each situation, whether it involves stakeholder interviews, surveys, workshops, or lessons learned, is essential. You also explore the concept of a requirements traceability matrix or product backlog to ensure proper tracking and management of requirements throughout the project.
The task ‘Determine how to gather requirements’ includes the following enablers:
- Match tools to scenarios (e.g., user stories, use cases, etc.).
- Identify the requirements gathering approach for a situation (e.g., conduct stakeholder interviews, surveys, workshops, lessons learned, etc.).
