Business Requirements Document
(BRD)
A document describing what the business needs a change or system to achieve
What's it for?
Puts the main business needs for a proposed change in one place so everyone works toward the same outcome.
For example…
A requirements document states the outcomes a replacement customer system must deliver.
A BRD for a procurement change sets out the need for faster approvals, clearer audit trails and fewer manual purchase orders
Think of it like…
The client brief an architect keeps on the wall — what the building must achieve, not the floor plan
