What is Requirements Management

Requirements Management is an iterative set of activities that help ensure that elicitation, documentation, refinement, and changes of requirements is adequately dealt with during a lifecycle, with a view toward satisfying the overall mission or need in a quality manner and to the customers’ satisfaction.

Whether part of a project management plan or standalone, a Requirements Management Plan (RMP) describes the requirements artifacts, requirement types (including attributes), the requirements management process, and the metrics and tools to be used for measuring, reporting, and controlling changes to the requirements.

Why Do You Need It?

Why do you need Requirements Management?

Every project seeks to meet the needs expressed by groups of people, its stakeholders. The process to capture and precisely express stakeholders' needs produces set(s) of information, such as:
  • Needs, goals and objectives (NGOs)
  • User stories
  • User requirements
  • Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

This data specifies what is needed and not how the needs are to be met. The process will next produce design limits, that express how these needs will be met, as further set(s) of information, such as:

  • System requirements
  • Use cases
  • Analysis or logical models
