Requirements Planning is the first stage in the Rapid Application Design (RAD) Methodology Life-cycle. During this stage an outline of the system area and definition of the system scope are developed. Business executives, end users and IS professionals take part in workshops which progress through a structured set of steps; with the results recorded in the CASE tool. Throughout the RAD Life-cycle all the information gathered is stored in the Information repository, ultimately to become a computerized design from which code can be generated. The workshops do not generate paperwork. The Requirements Planning stage typically takes one to four weeks to complete.
