scope requirements but are out of scope requirements for the project which IBRD can help with requirements documented in a br d also helps remove ambiguity over the requirements as it will be very clearly defined in the document what is supposed to be done and what is supposed to be achieved Oba Diah also helps the project or delivery team to get sign-off from the business as a B Rd will act as a reference document to which business has agreed that these are the requirements which will be delivered and if there are any caveats to those requirements those we are already captured in the document and signed off by the business it is important to follow a standard structure for business requirement document although different organizations may use different structure but the points we have mentioned below will usually be needed to be covered in each and every business requirement document however the order can vary from organization to organization top of the document structure is version control where you show progress between different versions and if any major changes have been done in different versions after version control is stakeholder identification part where you identify different business IT and delivery stakeholders also the stakeholders who are gonna provide the sign-off can also be mentioned here next is table of contents or index please remember to refresh your table of contents or index post every version update of the document glossary part contains all the terms or acronyms which will be used in the document so that the reader of the document does not face difficulty when he looks at any acronym after glossary here comes the part where the business requirements will be actually captured introduction part of the BRD will help a reader understand the background of the project the purpose and scope of the project after high-level purpose of the project captured in introduction in requirement overview the business opportunity of the project region of the project are captured in requirements overview we will also outline the requirements in a precise and concise manner so that there is no ambiguity with what are the requirements and what is supposed to be achieved in business flow diagram the current as its process that to be process or the target state are captured and then there is a functional decomposition diagram which defines different functions of the project of the business requirement the difference between aces and 2b process diagrams can actually show the progress that will be made by these requirement completions business requirement document can also capture functional requirements at a very high level so that the business users or the reader of the document can also have a view of the different functionalities that the delivery of the project will cover it is also important to define the dependency on different data and data sources different data source owners need to be made aware of the current functionalities data requirements and the changes they may need to implement their in their own systems any internal or external dependencies of the project needs to be clearly defined and the people who are responsible for these dependencies need to be made aware of their responsibilities any internal or external dependencies of the project needs to be clearly defined and the people who are responsible for these dependencies need to be made aware of their responsibilities any constants which can affect the delivery of the project or effectiveness of the project need to be clearly mentioned and all the relevant stakeholders should be made aware of the same in appendix you may need to capture any reference documents or reference files that have been used to create the business requirement document or any reference communication that needs to be part of the business requirement document but not part of the main while capturing the business requirements in the BRD it is important to keep in mind that the requirements being captured should adhere to the below checklist requirement should be realistic and time-bound which means that there should be clear timelines defining the requirements and their deliveries as requirement document is used by multiple stakeholders it is very important that the requirements captured should be unambiguous and complete there should be no confusion on what is written in the requirement as bigger projects can have multiple requirements to be delivered it is important that requirements are prioritized depending on their criticality all the internal or external data or input dependencies for the requirements to be successfully delivered should be clearly defined in the document a business requirement document is usually not a standalone document and there are multiple documents being created along with the business requirement document it is very important that any indexation or referencing to the other document should be clearly mentioned with the requirements we have come to the end of this video so if you liked our video don't forget to share you can also subscribe our youtube channel which is
