EA Project Objectives and Requirements
Defining the Objectives and Requirements of a (EA) Project
Project objectives are specific to a project, for example: “Project duration must not exceed six months” or “The project must implement an Agile method”.
An objective is a goal that a company or organization wants to achieve, or is the target set by a process or an operation. An objective allows you to highlight the features in a process or operation that require improvement.
For more details on the use of project objectives and requirements, see report Objectives and Requirements.Project requirements are the constraints imposed, for example: "Project must be executed using new version of Visual Studio" or "Project must be executed without intervention of external”.
A requirement is a need or expectation explicitly expressed, imposed as a constraint to be met within the context of a project. This project can be a certification project or an organizational project or an information system project.The objectives and requirements assigned to a (EA) project are distinct from objectives and requirements assigned to capabilities, processes and applications handled by the project
