Requirements Document Template for Small Projects

Requirements Document Template for Small ProjectsRequirements document is an important document in system – hardware/software – development. There exist a well known methodology called Volere, they have a very good template, but it too big for our small project, I developed a small template that is just sufficient to us.

In all cases you have to read basic info about Volere from http://www.systemsguild.com/GuildSite/Robs/Template.html

The template is just a structured way to remind us to the basic sections of requirements, of course in any project some of the titles will be not applicable.

The document will be filled with Product Managers, Hardware Team and Software Team collaboratively. Look at CMMI 1.2 Requirements Management key process area.
