Requirements Documentation Index

Bloom’s Level: 1 – Remembering (Reference-Ready)

Introduction

The Requirements folder documents how requirements are managed, tracked, and validated for the Project PASS PMP initiative. This folder is not part of the formal scope baseline but is essential to supporting scope development. It provides clear structure for the identification, intake, traceability, and validation of all project requirements.

Each document below supports a specific task in the lifecycle of a requirement — from initial idea through sponsor approval and mapping to deliverables. All documents are written in Markdown, version-controlled, and interlinked with other knowledge base components (e.g., ECO anchors, glossary, and scope statement).

📂 Documents in This Folder

📄 Requirements Management Plan

The 01-requirements-management-plan defines the overall process for how requirements are collected, documented, prioritized, validated, and tracked across the project lifecycle. It outlines roles and responsibilities, change protocols, and tools like the RTM. This is the central reference document that governs how all other requirement artifacts in this folder are used and maintained.

📄 Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM)

The 02-requirements-traceability-matrix is a live working matrix used to map requirements to ECO Tasks/Enablers and deliverables. It ensures that every requirement has a purpose, is testable, and is aligned with output. This file is critical for maintaining traceability, especially as new content is added or changes are proposed.

📄 Requirements Intake Form

The 03-requirements-intake-form is a standardized form used to propose new requirements. Anyone submitting a requirement must complete this form, identifying the ECO linkage, priority, impacted deliverables, and rationale. It feeds directly into the RTM and serves as the formal entry point for new scope elements or content features.

📄 Requirements Validation Checklist

The 04-requirements-validation-checklist is a review tool used by the sponsor or PM to confirm whether a requirement is ready to move forward. It checks for clarity, ECO alignment, feasibility, and traceability. Requirements that fail this checklist are either rejected or sent back for revision before inclusion in the RTM.

📄 Customer Intake Interview (Contextual)

The 00-customer-intake-interview-project-pass-pmp captures the original vision, success criteria, and planning assumptions behind this project. While not a requirement document itself, it is included here to provide historical context for why the current requirements exist. It helps ensure alignment between initial goals and current deliverables.
