Collaborative Approach to Requirements Management

Introduction

In a distributed software and systems development project, Requirements Management plays a critical role in ultimate success of the project. For an efficient and optimal management of Requirements, a fully functional Requirements Management tool is not just a necessity, it can be a life saver. Using documents and spreadsheets often is an easy way to start Requirements Management as a practice, but in no time it becomes a liability instead of a reliable tool.

The two aspects of Requirements Management, which can substantially help a distributed project, are Collaboration and Reusability. These two are also the features which force a group using documents for Requirements Management to upgrade to a tool based Requirements Management. This paper describes how Kovair's Requirements Management tool helps a distributed project in achieving collaborative Requirements Management with high degree of reusability which can substantially reduce the development time and risks.

In modern software development practices, the "Collaboration" among different groups / roles working from various geographic locations has become a necessity. Out of all phases of software development life cycle, it is the Requirement Management phase that greatly demands collaboration, especially due to the fact that various globally distributed stakeholders need to be involved in creating, reviewing and approving Requirements.
