1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to gather the Client’s business requirements, both functional and
non-functional
The scope of the document is limited to collecting the requirements from the Client. We do not
recommend that any designs are included in this document.
The Client may have an existing methodology and associated templates for capturing business
requirements. If this is the case, then we need to ensure that the Client’s standard documents
contain the information described in this BRD. If not, then, this template should be used.
A brief description of the Client and the nature of the Client’s business should be included here.
In addition to this, describe this functionality in overview and describe how it fits into the day-to-day
operations.
Describe what is in the scope of the requirements and, if known, what is not.
2.1.1 In Scope
Replace this text with your own.
The summary table should be used to summarise all requirements in this document; each
requirement will then be described in detail later in the document.
2.3 Assumptions
Document any assumptions to ensure that they are understood by all.
This section must be repeated for each of the components of the functionality that is covered in this
document. Explain the proposed functionality in detail (the description should not be in any Temenos
product terms – Core Banking, Insight, TAP, WM, etc.). This section does NOT talk about deltas, it
simply states what is required by the Client.
Highlight the salient features of the required functionality. A diagrammatic representation of the
workflow indicating the different departments involved may be useful. This should be complemented
with the business rules to be applied for the processing. These should be taken from the BSDD and
referred to.
Please be clear and remember to document any outputs such as reports, enquiries, customer
advices.
Each sub-section below should relate back to a requirement in the summary Section 2.2 Summary of
Requirements
Provide the volumes (of transactions, etc.) that will make use of the functionality in this BRD.
4.2 Performance
OPTIONAL
4.3 Security
OPTIONAL
Describe any security requirements, for example authentication requirements for internet / mobile
banking.
4.4 Migration
OPTIONAL
Any data-related requirements should be documented here, for example definitions of inbound and
outbound data..
4.6 GDPR
OPTIONAL
Any other non-functional requirements (ensure that the heading above is amended to reflect the
content here).

5 Use Cases
MANDATORY (see notes below)
This section contains the associated Use Cases. These should be present for each functional
requirement to ensure that the requirement is fully explained in detail and to minimise the possibility of
a requirement being misunderstood. These are a useful method of enhancing the description of
requirements when there is a lot of interaction between the system and one or several users (i.e.
Front End requirements, integration of various products, etc.). For some types of requirements, Use
Cases may not be applicable, if in doubt seek assistance from Temenos.
