About the Project Requirements template
A Project Requirements document captures the specific functional, technical, and business needs a project must satisfy to be considered complete. It creates a single agreed reference point for stakeholders, developers, and testers, reducing scope disputes and rework by defining what success looks like before work begins.
It's part of My QMS, MyPMP's Quality Management System: fill it in online, personalize it with your name and logo, then export a clean, branded PDF. Your work auto-saves in your browser.

FAQ
What is a Project Requirements?οΌ
It is a structured record of the functional and non-functional needs a project must deliver, each described clearly enough to be built and tested against. It serves as the baseline for scope, design, and acceptance.
How do functional and non-functional requirements differ?οΌ
Functional requirements describe what the system must do (e.g., generate an invoice), while non-functional requirements describe how it must perform (e.g., load within two seconds or comply with GDPR).
How should requirements be prioritised?οΌ
MoSCoW prioritisation is common: classify each item as Must have, Should have, Could have, or Won't have this time, so teams know what is essential versus deferrable when time or budget is tight.
