OBJECTIVES & GOALS

The Requirements Manager (RM) supports the project manager and the project team as an expert and partner with the aim of ensuring that all internal and external requirements and conditions laid down in respect of the project are fully recorded and tracked, and that proof of compliance is documented. The RM coordinates implementation of the processes for identifying and tracking project requirements, and for documenting compliance with these requirements and correct adherence to the RM process. The RM is responsible for administering the recorded requirements using an RM tool, supports the users of this application, and facilitates the preparation of project-specific reports and metrics.

The Change Manager (ChM) is responsible to follow a structured approach with processes to ensure that changes to a project's scope, objectives, timeline, or deliverables are effectively managed. It involves preparing and supporting the project team to embrace and adapt a holistic process to consider changes initiated within a project.

The Configuration Manager (CM) manages and controls changes to configuration items (project deliverables, documentation, software and other components) throughout the project's lifecycle, in line with industry standards and business regulations. It involves identifying and documenting the attributes of the project's products and components that need to be controlled and tracked. This ensures that any changes are evaluated, approved, and documented properly, maintaining consistency and reducing errors. Additionally, configuration management includes recording and reporting the status of configuration items, ensuring that their current status of the (sub)system, product, or installation configuration, is always known and documented.
