We are talking all about developing a requirements document for your projects to help align yourself and your team to what it is you are trying to accomplish.

In project management, the requirements document is very important.  It provides you with the framework of what your project is about so regardless of what it is you're doing regardless of if you are trying to declutter your space or organize your space if you are remodeling your home if you're planning an event or if you're planning some sort of speaking engagement or replacing software in your business the requirements document will help you with all of those things so that is why it falls in all of the different buckets that we have now in creating your requirements document there are a couple of things you can do one is that you can do a brainstorming exercise now if you are a solopreneur or if you are an individual who lives by yourself you can just basically do a brain dump just write out anything that you are thinking regarding that item or that task or that event okay if you are a team of people maybe you have your family your family is engaged in this project or a group of people who are putting on this event you want to make sure that everybody is involved in this brain dump session or brainstorming session the reason you want to do this is because everybody comes to the particular thing with a different mindset or from a different direction so whereas using the family situation your children may look at the use of the pantry one way or the use of the laundry room one way you as mom may look at it a completely different way because maybe you are washing majority of the clothes your spouse may look at it completely different or use it completely differently so you want to make sure that you have input from everybody on the team or everyone who is involved in using space or using the tool so that you have a clear understanding of what the needs are before you replace it before you put on the event or anything like that so once you get all of this information gathered your gonna kind of split it up into different categories you have your must-haves or your your needs these are the things that regardless of anything else they have to be included okay then you have your wants or your liked to have these are things that yeah if it has it it's great if it doesn't it's okay and then you have your absolutely not these are things that you don't want the product to do or you don't like for example you don't want it to be a manual process it has to be an automated process the system has to work automatically pulling people in or you want to make it so that you're the washing process in your home everybody can participate and everybody can assist with that process again I'm giving you various different scenarios but the point is that you're gonna have your your absolutes you're gonna have your nice-to-haves and you're gonna have your absolutely not so we cannot have this or this is not included in this project or this process or this event okay and so once you have this document created this is gonna be your the place where everybody comes back to this requirements document to make sure that anything that you're planning anything that you're thinking about actually meets those expectations it helps provide the framework so in the next video I am going to talk to you about specific examples as it relates to life space and business
