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.

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!
