Mathieu Gouanou's Foreword:
Review of the IIBA® BABOK® v2.0
Chapter 4 Task Matrix.
The
Requirements Management and Communication Knowledge Area describes the activities and considerations for managing and expressing requirements to a broad and diverse audience. These tasks are performed to ensure that all stakeholders have a shared understanding of the nature of a solution and to ensure that those stakeholders with approval authority are in agreement as to the requirements that the solution shall meet.
Communicating requirements helps to bring the stakeholders to a common understanding of the requirements. Because the stakeholders represent people from different backgrounds and business domains, this communication is both challenging and critical to the success of any initiative. It involves determining which sets of requirements are relevant to a particular stakeholder group and presenting those requirements in an appropriate format for that audience.
Management of requirements assists with understanding the effects of change and linking business goals and objectives to the actual solution that is constructed and delivered. Over the long term, it also ensures that the knowledge and understanding of the organization gained during business analysis is available for future use.
Nota bene: the performance of all requirements management and communication activities
are governed by the business analysis plans and business analysis performance metrics should be tracked.
