Affinity diagram
A schematic representation that organizes requirements into groups according to their similarities.
Brain writing
Documented ideas are passed along to other participants who will use it to generate and record new ideas.
Deliverable
Verifiable item that must be produced to complete the project.
Product analysis
Scope definition technique used to translate product descriptions into specific and verifiable deliverables
Mind mapping
Diagram that organizes previously identified requirements around common ideas
Requirements management plan
Subsidiary management plan that establishes the approach used to collect, analyze, refine, organize, prioritize, document, develop, validate, change, report and trace requirements.
Requirements documentation
Documents that describe requirements and explain how the project’s business need is addressed.
Prototype
A demonstration of a model or early version of a future product to collect feedback from stakeholders.
Scope screep
Uncontrolled additions to the project scope.
Work breakdown structure dictionary
Document that records detailed information regarding individual work packages.
Product breakdown
Product analysis technique that graphically decomposes the product into high-level deliverables, which will be further decomposed into more detailed deliverables.
Work breakdown structure
Deliverable-oriented treelike depiction of all the work required to accomplish the project objectives.
Scope inspection
Deliverables are compared to requirements documentation and the scope baseline to ensure that they meet acceptance criteria.
Scope management plan
Subsidiary management plan that specifies the scope management procedures, tools, techniques, roles, responsibilites and records.
Scope baseline

Verifiable
Can be validated without ambiguity.
Product requirement
Clear statement of the capabilities and behaviors required from the product.
Scope statement
Document that establishes a common understanding regarding the project and product scope.
Work package
Discrete work element, represented at the lowest level of the WBS, which express the work required to produce a deliverable by specific individuals, teams or organizational units.
Product scope
Describes the project’s products and how they must perfom.
Decomposition
The top-down process of identifying work packages by breaking down deliverables into smaller, more manageable elements.
Project scope
Describes all the work required to deliver the project’s products, with the agreed-upon specifications.
Requirements traceability matrix
Document that establishes a clear link between business, stakeholder and solution requirements.
Product backlog
Prioritized list of the features, requirements, enhancements and product defects that might be addressed in future iterations.
100% rule
WBS decomposition rule that states that the WBS captures all the project work.
Epic
Large broadly-defined requirements that can span multiple iterations.
User story
Concise and intuitive description of a feature, often written from the user perspective.
Interviews
Information is collected through direct discussions with subject matter experts.
Facilitated workshop
Stakeholders from multiple areas of expertise meet to define cross-functional requirements.
Dot voting
Participants distribute a limited number of dot stickers or pen marks to the available options (e.g., requirements).
Experiment
Time-boxed knowledge-acquisition activity used to learn more about a user story or explore potential improvement opportunities.
Brainstorming
Ideas are collected with the help of a facilitator who encourages everyone to contribute.
Focus groups
Selected subject matter experts meet in a focused setting to provide information regarding their expectations towards the product.
Nominal group technique
Group decision-making technique that reaches a decision through vote, taking everyone’s opinion into account.
Benchmarking
Searching inside and ouside the organization for references and improvement ideas.
