Functional Requirements Template for ISO 21500 Project Management

The ISO 21500 Functional Requirements template that we are giving for FREE today to YOU covers the ISO 21500 Project Management International Standard but also any other national standards and frameworks compliant with ISO 21500 such us: ANSI PMI PMBOK for PMP, IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB), APM Body Of Knowledge, British Standards Institute (BSI) Guide to Project Management (BS 6079), Project Management South Affrica (PMSA), Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD), Project Management Association of Japan (PMAJ) Project and Program Management for Enterprise Innovation (P2M), Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) Competency Standards, AXELOS PRINCE2, etc.

The better that project requirements are gathered and documented, the better chance that the project will succeed. A poor requirements documentation results in an open project, and therefore an end-less project. Today, we provide you with two great templates for documenting successfully your project requirements and increase your opportunities for a successful project.

Both templates in fact have the same 5 key sections. But the complete version of the template goes further than the functional requirements and also covers the utility and guarantee requirements. I suggest that you use the long version, but at the very least use the short one.

The elements of a Project Requirements Document are the following:

Functional Requirements Template section 1: Stakeholder

The functional requirements specification field that details the Stakeholder names in the project.

Functional Requirements Template section 2: Requirement

The functional requirements specification document field that include a description of a requirement in the project.

Functional Requirements Template section 3: Category

The functional requirements specification document field that assign a category  names in the project.

Functional Requirements Template section 4: Priority

The functional requirements specification document field that details the priority for the project requirement.

Functional Requirements Template section 5: Acceptance Criteria

The functional requirements field that details the Acceptance Criteria that will be applied for getting Stakeholder approval for the requirement.

 

No matter if you are using ISO 21500 Project Management International Standard on your project or any other national standards and frameworks compliant with ISO 21500 such us: ANSI PMI PMBOK for PMP, IPMA Competence Baseline (ICB), APM Body Of Knowledge, British Standards Institute (BSI) Guide to Project Management (BS 6079), Project Management South Affrica (PMSA), Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD), Project Management Association of Japan (PMAJ) Project and Program Management for Enterprise Innovation (P2M), Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) Competency Standards, AXELOS PRINCE2, etc. This is a must for any Project Manager when planning a project, and also later for its follow up and final project acceptance:
