The purpose of this artifact is to capture all requests made on the project, as well as how these requests have been addressed. Although the system analyst is responsible for this artifact, many people will contribute to it: marketing people, users, customers-anyone who is considered to be a stakeholder to the result of the project. This information may be collected in a document or automated tool and appropriate requests should be tracked and reported on following an approved Change Request Management (CRM) process.

Examples of sources for the Stakeholder Requests are:

• Results of stakeholder interviews
• Results from requirements elicitation sessions and workshops
• Change Request (CR)
• Statement of work
• Request for proposal
• Mission statement
• Problem statement
• Business rules
• Laws and regulations
• Legacy systems
• Business models
