Many mid-sized to smaller projects will be successful using basic tools like MS Excel or Word to
manage requirements. Choosing an enterprise requirements tool to manage a small project may be too
burdensome and have too steep of a learning curve. Select the right tool for the right requirements task.
Whichever method is selected, the goal should be to manage the requirement changes with accuracy
and efficiency, while providing everyone involved the chance to participate in or be advised of the
changes.
Requirements tracking may also provide an opportunity to perform initial cleanup of out-of-scope, out-
of-budget, and time consuming requirements. For example, asking for super-cooled, gold plated mouse
pads may improve staff’s work performance, however, if it’s unrealistic for the project, it may be
removed or be reduced to asking for BPA-free, ergonomic mouse pads.
Refer to SIMM 170B Project Requirements Development Instructions for additional step-by-step
requirements development information and details as they relate to the PAL process.
