Requirements Document
Template

Template Description
1 Purpose
The Business Requirements document details specific project and product requirements that must be met to satisfy
the business objectives.

2 How to Use
This template provides a mechanism to track product/project deliverables against requirements to ensure
business and product requirements are met.

3 Best Practice
Requirements may start out at a high level and become progressively more detailed as more information is
known. Requirements must be unambiguous (measurable and testable), traceable, complete, consistent, and
acceptable to key stakeholders. A requirements management plan should be defined to document how
requirements will be captured, measured, analyzed, and managed.

Note: The PM Lite Requirements Document Template is customizable as you see fit, on a per project basis,
meeting specific needs of the project and/or your organization’s policies. The below sections are suggestions but
can be tailored as applicable.
