Business Requirements Document (BRD)

A formal, structured record that specifies and details an organization’s business needs.

Key Points

  • Defines what the business needs and why, not how the solution will be built.
  • Includes objectives, scope, stakeholders, high-level processes, and acceptance criteria.
  • Serves as a baseline for scope management and change control.
  • Requires review and approval from key business stakeholders to ensure alignment.

Example

A bank plans to launch mobile check deposit. The BRD outlines the business goal (increase digital adoption by 20%), in-scope features (capture, review, submit), excluded items (foreign checks), stakeholders (retail banking, compliance), constraints (regulatory hold times), and acceptance criteria (99.5% successful deposit submissions).

PMP Example Question

Which document primarily captures the organization’s detailed business needs and expected outcomes to guide solution selection?

  1. Business Requirements Document (BRD)
  2. Software Requirements Specification (SRS)
  3. Project Charter
  4. Product Backlog

Correct Answer: A — Business Requirements Document (BRD)

Explanation: The BRD documents the business needs and desired outcomes. The SRS details system requirements, the charter authorizes the project at a high level, and the product backlog orders solution work items.
