Requirements management processes manage all requirements received or
generated by the
project, including both technical and nontechnical
requirements as well as those requirements levied on
the project by the
organization. In particular, if the Requirements Development process
area is
implemented, its processes will generate product and
product-component requirements that will also be
managed by the
requirements management processes. When the Requirements Management,
Requirements Development, and Technical Solution process areas are all
implemented, their associated
processes may be closely tied and be
performed concurrently.
The project takes appropriate steps to ensure that the agreed-upon set
of requirements is managed
to support the planning and execution needs
of the project. When a project receives requirements from
an approved
requirements provider, the requirements are reviewed with the
requirements provider to
resolve issues and prevent misunderstanding
before the requirements are incorporated into the project¡¦s
plans. Once
the requirements provider and the requirements receiver reach an
agreement, commitment
to the requirements is obtained from the project
participants. The project manages changes to the
requirements as they
evolve and identifies any inconsistencies that occur among the plans,
work
products, and requirements.
Part of the
management of requirements is to document requirements changes and
rationale and
maintain bidirectional traceability between source
requirements and all product and product-component
requirements.
