Introduction & Purpose

Sets context for the entire requirements pack. Explains what the DRP is for, who it is intended for, and how it should be used.

AI in this module

How AI suggestions work

Click "Get AI Suggestions" to have the AI draft or improve this narrative in one pass, grounded in the rest of the DRP's content and any AI Knowledgebase documents for the project. The suggestion appears as a single card with an "Apply" button — applying it replaces the field with the AI's full markdown-formatted rewrite; nothing changes until you click it.

This is one of the earliest modules to fill in, but the AI draft actually gets better the more of the rest of the DRP exists — if the draft feels generic, add more to Business Objectives and Solution Scope first, then refresh.

Quality checks

What "Check Quality" looks for here

Covers what, why, audience, and how. Flags a draft missing one of these four elements, so a new reader is never left guessing what this DRP is for.

No generic filler. Flags vague language that could describe any project, not this one specifically.

What it captures

Why this DRP exists, who it's written for, and how it should be used — the context a new reader needs before anything else.

Using this module

This module is a single free-text field, written as you'd write the opening section of a BRD. A strong version covers four things: what this DRP is and what it's for, the project context (what the initiative is trying to achieve), who it's written for and how they should use it, and any high-level assumptions or constraints worth flagging up front.

Review and approval

Reviewed as a whole, when its review level is Module-level: a Lead Analyst or Analyst assigns its reviewers and approver to this module from the project's Modules tab, or overridden on this DRP's Review Assignments tab, and it moves through In progress → In review → Awaiting approval → Approved as a single unit — see the Review & Approval Workflow guide topic for the full flow.

Tips

  • Write this for someone seeing the project for the first time, even if most readers already know it — it sets the tone for the rest of the pack.
  • Keep it to a few paragraphs; deeper detail belongs in Business Objectives and Solution Scope.
