Project Charter
Definition
Project Charter documents the business goals, scope
and impact of the project. It identifies/articulates the
capabilities that will be enabled by the project and
conveys how the project aligns with the strategic and
operational business architecture.
Creation
Process
•  Identify business needs, issues and/or
pain points
•  Identify the capabilities that will enable
the development of the identified
capabilities and address the issues/pain
points
•  Develop a business case to support the
capability build out
•  Create the charter document with the
above information

the business areas that are impacted by
the scope of the project
•  Conduct interviews/discussions with key
business stakeholders and develop
further understanding of the context
•  Create the business context diagram
•  Include relevant information context
diagram
•  Socialize with business stakeholders and
get buy-in

Use Cases and High-level Requirements
Definition
A Use Case is a requirements gathering and
documentation tool that describes how an actor uses
a system to achieve a goal and what the system does
for the actor to achieve that goal. It tells the story of
how the system and its actors collaborate to deliver
something of value for at least one of the actors.
Creation
Process
•  Review the set of capabilities to
developed as part of the project and
identify a list of business scenarios
•  Use the scenarios to develop a list of use
cases
•  Conduct workshops and define high-level
narrative of system and user
interactions. These narratives for the
basis of detailed use cases

KEY INPUT
Use Cases articulate the user-system interactions
and are a key input for developing the future sate
conceptual architecture.

Conceptual Architecture
Definition
Conceptual architecture model provides an
understandable picture of the overall purpose of the
proposed solution to business stakeholders. The
solution components can be “layered” on top of a
process, functional or “tiered” (presentation,
business, data) view.
Creation
Process
•  Review the charter and business context
diagram(s) and develop a detailed
understanding of situation
•  Review the high use cases and
requirements to understand the direction
of the future state
•  Identify the solution components that
would enable the future state solution
•  Define conceptual information models
•  Socialize with business stakeholders and
get buy-in

Business and Technical Requirements
Definition
The Business and Technical Requirements Document
(BTRD) is the primary requirements document. It
contains the high-level as well as detailed
requirements that enable the capabilities desired by
project stakeholders.
Creation
Process
