  • Archiving and Restoring

Scope

Provide a comprehensive list of requirements to support quick and easy compilation of an questionnaire for an RFP (Request for Proposal) or for the internal development team, thus ensuring that the selected or developed application will meet the requirements for reliable operations. This can be achieved by customization, that is

  • deleting those requirements not needed for the specific situation
  • ranking of requirements (mandatory, important, nice to have, not required)
  • customizing values (e.g. Vendor of your Monitoring-System, value for availability 98%, 99%, 99.5%...)
Non-Functional Requirements not covered in this product are covered in Product
Requirements for Application Interfaces 65 requirements are provided in our product Requirements-Template and Checklist for Application Interfaces
Documentation Requirements The product Temlate for an Operations- / Systems Handbook is a 50+ pages template for an end-to-end Systems documentation.

Out of Scope

If you think that you do NOT need this report because....

... those requirements are part of your enterprise standards

Congratulation - your organization reached already an excellent maturity level. But in this case you are surely aware of the costs (of hundreds of man hours) until those standards and requirements were collected, formulated, discussed and re-formulated and agreed. But even if you find only one new requirement in this report, missing in your list, the price for this report might pay off already in the next project.
