Dan,

At Symphony, we built a 'cost detail' spreadsheet, showing a concise
description of each item to be completed, and a number of hours that
item
would cost.  That way, if the client decided Report A, bid at 5 hours,
was
not desperately necessary right now, they could specifically exclude it,
or
save it for later.  They got a 'line item veto' over almost everything
we
had heard them ask for.  (Not everything, if they wanted a report
grouped by
X and collecting X was a new feature, they had to pay for both.)  

We also built in some text allowing for a 10% overrun in time and cost,
without their additional approval, and an assurance that we would confer
before going ahead with anything over 10%.

They were asked to sign off on the total before ANY work commenced.

It was a pretty simple document, easy to read if not easy to put
together. I
can send a sample off-list if you like.

Thanks,
 
Liz

Hello to all!

I'm getting to a point with a customer where it would really help to do
some
semi-formal requirements management (good customer - big project).  I've
done a little web searching and bought a book (Software Requirements by
Ellen Gottesdiener - which I do like).

Now to get some comments from the experts!  

I'd like to find out what people on this list do for collecting and
managing
the requirements on your projects.  Spreadsheets?  Word docs?  Personal
software?  Professional software?  Anything really good or anything
really
bad?


Thanks!
Dan Waters
