- Extract requirements - Requirements play a key part in BSS construction project.
Incomplete or improper requirements usually lead to project failure. A business
consultant determines a project’s requirements by extracting them from business or
government policies, as well as from current and future users, through interaction and
research. - Anticipate requirements - Skilled business consultant knows how quickly things change
in the dynamic world of IT. Baseline plans are subject to modification, and anticipating
requirements that will be needed in the future or that have not yet been considered is
essential to successful outcomes. - Constrain requirements - While complete requirements are essential to project success,
the focus must remain on core business needs, and not users’personal preferences,
functions related to trends or outdated processes, or other non-essential modifications. - Organize requirements - Requirements often originate from disparate, sometimes
opposing sources. The business consultant must organize requirements into related
categories to effectively manage and communicate them. Requirements are sorted into
types according to their source and applicability. Proper organization prevents project
requirements from becoming overlooked, and leads to optimum use of time and
budgets. - Translate requirements - The business consultant must be adept at translating business
requirements to technical requirements. This includes using powerful analysis and
modelling tools to match strategic business objectives with practical technical solutions. - Verify requirements - The business consultant is most knowledgeable about use cases;
therefore, they continually verify the requirements and reject implementations that do
not advance business objectives. Verifying requirements is accomplished through
analysis, test, demonstration and inspection. - Managing requirements - Typically, a formal requirements presentation, review and
approval session occurs, where project schedules, costs and duration estimates are
updated and the business objectives are revisited. Upon approval, the business
consultant transitions into requirements management activities for the rest of the IT
solution life cycle.
