In the previous chapter, you learned about the building blocks of a project by defining a project charter and a project plan. The next step is to build the foundation of your implementation project by collecting any requirements, their analysis, and their fit-gap. The following are the key objectives of the requirement-gathering or analysis phase of the project:
- Understanding the customer business process and goals

- Identifying the fit and gaps
- Developing a solution blueprint
In this chapter, we will explore requirements, processes, and solution blueprints while emphasizing their need, as well as various other moving parts for managing the scope of your project.
