QUESTION 1

You are collaborating with your project team and business analyst to choose the most effective method for gathering requirements from project stakeholders.

Describe in detail what is the plurality method and how risky is it for project requirements.

The project requirements will be managed as part of the project according to the requirements management plan. What component of the requirements management plan is responsible for recording and why is this component needed in maintaining control over the physical attributes of the project’s product?
