REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT PLAN

International Football Tournament Stadium & Digital Ticketing Project

  1. Document Information
  • Project Name: International Football Tournament Stadium & Digital Ticketing Project
  • Project Manager: Alex
  • Document Owner: Project Management Office (PMO)
  • Parent Documents:
    • Project Management Plan
    • Scope Management Plan
  • Version: 1.0
  • Approval Date: 01 December 2025
  • Status: Approved / Controlled
  1. Purpose

This Requirements Management Plan defines how project requirements will be:

  • identified,
  • documented,
  • analyzed,
  • validated,
  • traced,
  • and controlled

throughout the project lifecycle.

Its purpose is to ensure that:

  • stakeholder needs are clearly understood,
  • requirements are complete and unambiguous,
  • every approved requirement contributes to business value,
  • unauthorized requirements are prevented.
  1. Requirements Definition Approach

3.1 Sources of Requirements

Requirements may originate from:

  • Sponsor Committee
  • Regulatory and safety authorities
  • Stadium operations and security teams
  • Digital government agency
  • End users (spectators, staff)
  • Integration and cybersecurity specialists

3.2 Elicitation Techniques**

Requirements will be gathered using:

  • Expert Judgment
  • Workshops (structured, facilitated sessions for collaborative definition)
  • Interviews
  • Focus Groups
  • Document Analysis (regulations, standards)
  • Observation (site and operational walkthroughs)
  • Prototypes (digital components only)
  1. Requirements Documentation

4.1 Requirements Documentation

All requirements will be documented in a Requirements Documentation artifact, categorized as:

  • Business requirements
  • Stakeholder requirements
  • Solution requirements (functional & non-functional)
  • Transition requirements

Each requirement will include:

  • unique ID,
  • description,
  • rationale,
  • acceptance criteria,
  • priority,
  • owner.

4.2 Level of Detail (Hybrid Tailoring)

Predictive (Stadium Construction):

  • Requirements defined in detail upfront
  • Minimal tolerance for ambiguity

Agile (Digital Ticketing Platform):

  • High-level requirements (features) defined initially
  • Detailed user stories refined iteratively
  • Acceptance criteria defined before implementation
  1. Requirement Prioritization

Requirements will be prioritized using:

  • regulatory necessity,
  • safety impact,
  • benefit contribution,
  • risk exposure,
  • operational dependency.

For digital components, prioritization may use:

  • MoSCoW (Must, Should, Could, Won’t),
  • value vs. risk scoring.
  1. Requirements Traceability

6.1 Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM)

All approved requirements will be tracked in a Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) linking:

  • requirement → deliverable
  • requirement → test case
  • requirement → benefit
  • requirement → acceptance authority

This ensures:

  • no gold-plating,
  • no missing requirements,
  • full auditability.
  1. Requirements Validation

7.1 Validation Method

Requirements validation ensures correctness and completeness before baselining.

Validation is performed through:

  • reviews and walkthroughs,
  • regulatory validation,
  • prototype demonstrations (digital),
  • sponsor confirmation.

7.2 Approval Authority

  • Regulatory and safety requirements: approving authority = regulator
  • Business requirements: approving authority = Sponsor Committee
  • Digital solution requirements: approving authority = Digital Gov. Agency

Only validated requirements may enter the scope baseline.

  1. Requirements Change Control
  • Changes to approved requirements must follow Integrated Change Control
  • Impact on:
    • scope,
    • schedule,
    • cost,
    • quality,
    • risk,
    • benefits
      must be assessed before approval

No requirement is implemented without approval.

  1. Preventing Gold Plating

To prevent gold plating:

  • only approved requirements are implemented,
  • additional features without approval are prohibited,
  • teams are instructed not to “add value” outside scope.
