Manage Requirement Specifications

All requirements are managed in context of a given specification, so users must create a specification before any requirement can be created. At the same time, by creating such a specification record, the system will automatically create the initial top-level requirement as well. Requirements are always linked to a specification for several reasons:

• The specification defines the user group being responsible for a given set of requirements. The defined group will be set additional owners for all requirements.
• It enables a consistent numbering of requirements that belong to the same specification.
• The approval of requirements will be in responsibility of the approvers defined on the specification.
• The requirements might be based on external data like customer requirements; the specification record can be used to collect all these files in a single location.

From the main menu, go to Workspaces > Requirements Management > Requirement Specifications to access existing specifications and to create new ones.
