Requirement

A condition or capability that a product, service, or deliverable must include to meet a business need.

Key Points

  • Expresses what stakeholders need from the product or service, documented and agreed for the project.
  • May be functional (what it does) or nonfunctional (quality, performance, security, compliance).
  • Should be clear, measurable, and testable with defined acceptance criteria.
  • Traced from source through design, implementation, and validation to manage scope and changes.

Example

On a CRM project, a requirement states: "The system must encrypt customer data at rest using AES-256." This fulfills a compliance need and can be verified during testing.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
