9 Requirements

In Part 6 of your first assignment you are expected to provide broad estimates of what resources your project will require. This will include things such as, how many people will be required, will they be employees of the organisation or is there a need to get specialist help from outside the organisation. If you are planning to get specialist help, will these people be employed or contracted. In this section you can include things like, how you will manage suppliers. For example, will you have preferred suppliers with a backup in case one of your preferred suppliers is unable to deliver.

This section is also where you will be documenting any need for equipment and materials.

Your assumptions and constraints will include things such as; are you planning to ask employees to volunteer their time outside of work hours. This could save you money and reduce your costs, however it constrains when (timing) of work can be done.

Other assumptions could include that you plan to use equipment the organisation already owns, again constraints will include, the equipment may not always be available because it is being used for higher priority tasks.
