Requirements Management

Definition of Requirements Management as it relates to Software, Application Lifecycle Management, Configuration Management

Requirements management involves defining, documenting, tracking, and validating software requirements throughout the application lifecycle. It serves as the foundation for configuration management by specifying what needs to be managed and controlled. By ensuring that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the software's intended behavior, it facilitates communication, collaboration, and consensus-building among cross-functional teams. This helps establish a common ground for decision-making, enabling organizations to build the right software products that meet user needs and business objectives, while minimizing rework, delays, and costs associated with misunderstandings or misalignments.
