What DMRL Means

DMRL stands for

Data Module Requirement List

The DMRL lists what the program owes: every module, its type, and its status. It is the instrument that converts a vague deliverable into a countable one.

It is also the honest answer to estimating. Until a DMRL exists, an S1000D estimate is a guess, and once it exists, completion is arithmetic rather than opinion. Programs that treat it as a planning artifact rather than a living record lose that benefit almost immediately.
