Requirements Management: Identify, Specify, Track and Control Requirements Using a Standard Process

Requirements are an integral part of the development process connected through traceability with marketing specifications, analysis diagrams, design models, code files, test procedures and virtually every other project deliverable. The structure of product requirements usually lends itself well to organizing the design, implementation and test activities that follow. The mapping between system requirements and product requirements and between product requirements and design, implementation and test procedures will help ensure complete coverage and eliminate overlap.
