This checklist is provided as part of the evaluation process for the Functional Requirements Document (FRD) submitted to sponsors / top management. The checklist assists designated reviewers to determine whether specifications meet criteria acceptable to sponsors upon the submission of the FRD.
The objective of the evaluation process is to determine if the document complies with project / customer requirements.
Attached to this document is the document review checklist. Its purpose is to assure that documents achieve the highest standards relative to format, consistency, completeness, quality, and presentation.
Submissions must include the following three documents, and must be presented in the following order:
(1) Document review checklist
(2) Functional requirements document checklist
(3) Functional requirements document.
The document author is required to complete the two columns indicated as author reference, page number and section, author comments before the submission. Last two columns marked as comply and reviewer comments. Do not complete it, since these are for the designated reviewers.
Coordination: Provide a list of organizations that require coordination between the project and its specific support function. Include a schedule for coordination activities.
Current Methods and Procedures: Describe the current methods and procedures that address the existing information requirements. The following information is included in this explanation.
Assumptions and Constraints: Describe any user assumptions and constraints that will affect development and operation of the system
Accuracy and Validity: Describe the accuracy requirements for the system
Timing. Describe the timing requirements for the system
Capacity Limits: Describe the estimated amount of transactions, storage requirements, concurrent users, or any other quantifiable information about capacity requirements.
Software Environment: Describe the support software that the application software will interact with. Address authority approval of non-standard items
Communications Requirements: State the general communication requirements of the system being developed
