It ensures that approved requirements in requirements documentation are met at end of project. Also provides a structure for managing changes to project or product scope.
RTM
??? Project Purpose, Goals and Objectives, Project Charter, Business Case, Assignment of PM/sponsor/functional manager/and user representative, constraints and assumptions, high-level scope definition, high-level risks.
Initiating Phase :
??? project management plans, scope management plan, scope statement, WBS, activity list, project network diagram, activity duration estimates, project schedule, schedule management plan, resource requirements. Cost estimates, cost management plan, cost baseline, quality assurance plan, communications plan, resource management plan, roles and responsibilities, assignment of resources, risk management plan, SOW.
Planning Phase :
??? intermediate or final work results/deliverables. Change requests, project records, quality improvements, proposals and contracts.

info
??? work to be accomplished in near term is planned in detail, whereas future work is planned w/much less detail. As time progresses the wave rolls forward so near-term work is always planned in more detail.
Rolling Wave Planning :
??? defined as a process of increasing the level of detail in a project management plan as more and more info and accurate estimates become available.
