Access Impact from Change

In this scenario we begin with a system of resources in some context (i.e. project, stream). A subset of these resources is about to change or is proposed to change. The goal of the impact analysis is to determine what related resources will also have to change to maintain the integrity of the system.

Prereq

The following resources are part of the context.

The work item "Change Assessment" is the work item that starts the impact analysis.

There are two requirements; Support Regulation, and the functional requirement "Weight of system less than 5kg".

The work item "implement reg support" was created to implement the first requirement. It has since been completed and delivered with a changeset that included a version of the architecture management resource (AMR) "Arch Overview Diagram.

Concerns:

• is the satisfy relationships from the diagram to the requirement explicitly created, or do we need to derive it through the changeset?
• can a closed work item be impacted?
