Managing Requirements
Manage requirements during SDLC Phases
|
Managing Requirements is the activity that follows the intensive work that goes into the defining requirements part of the Requirements Management Process. With approved Business Requirements in hand, we are able to proceed with the process of managing the Requirements, which involves the six key phases of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC): Analyze - project requirements are defined and evaluated for feasibility Design - design the specific details of the product or service Build - the first version of the product or service is produced Test - the validation of the product or service Deploy - installation and activation of the approved product or service Support - ongoing monitoring and maintenance of the product or service This manage requirements activity ensures that the requirements are aligned with various modules and the test scripts that are developed as part of the project. The process used for managing the alignment is called traceability and employs a Requirements Traceability Matrix. An effective Requirements Definition can also provide support to the Project Management activities. The Requirements Traceability Matrix depicts the relationships between the six SDLC phases listed above and the Requirements. ClearlyPUT's Requirementing process uses the traceability matrix for managing requirements Requirements Traceability allows Stakeholders to track and manage a project's evolution from beginning to end.
The end result of manage requirements is the completion of a project such as the release of a new product or the implementation of a new service. Summary
The intensive work that goes into defining the Requirements leads here. Managing Requirements involves six key phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC): analyze, design, build, test, deploy, and support. The process of aligning modules and test scripts uses a Requirements Traceability Matrix. The end result of Managing Requirements is the completion of a project such as the release of a new product or the implementation of a new service.
