Often a fact-fmding document, used early in a selection process, when the requester is open to a number of possible options. It requests informationfrom vendors about potential solutions to a given need.
Request for Information
RFI
Used to request bids on a specific solution from anumber of potential vendors. An RFQ is lessformal than an RFP, and may be a subset of anRFP.

RFQ
Used to request proposals to solve a specified business need, typically from a small number of potential vendors. The solutions could vary and are part of the proposal.
Request for Proposal
RFP
A plan for matching short- and long-term goals with how a solution will help reach those goals.

Business Requirements Document (BRD)
"BABOK 4.4.5 & GlossaryA Business Requirements Document is a requirements package that describes business requirements and stakeholder requirements (it documents requirements of interest to the business, rather than documenting business requirements)."

Software/System Requirements Specification (SRS)
BABOK 4.4.5
A document that describes non-functional requirements and/or supporting information, such as meta-data or "volumetrics" for data.
Supplementary Requirements Specification
BABOK 4.4.5
Often used in Enterprise Analysis or in project charters to document a high-level understanding of why and how a solution is needed. Often used when a solution is being developed iteratively.
Vision Document
BABOK 4.4.5
Documents or diagrams specified by a process, that show the output of a project or project phase.
Deliverable
"BABOK 4.4.4A deliverable is a specific output of the business analysis process that the business analyst has agreed to produce. A requirement deliverable is used as a basis for solution design and implementation."
Documents, notes, diagrams, etc. that are byproducts of a project, used to record and organize information, and help in analyzing requirements.
Work Product
"BABOK 4.4.4Examples of work products might be:Meeting agendas and minutesInterview questions and notesFacilitation session agendas and notesIssues logWork plan, status reportsPresentation slides used during the projectTraceability matrices"

Which of the following best describes what should be included in a requirements package? a. Implementation transport strategy, requirements communications, methodology selection b.
