Requirements Management Scenarios

This document provides high-level scenario descriptions that have been identified as priority scenarios that need to defined in the specification and validated by product implementations.

Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM) Scenarios

The following two scenarios are defining the scope of a V1.0 of the specification.

• Scenario A: Requirements are implemented, delivered and validated
• Scenario B: A change request is satisfied

• Scenario C: Find and fix an unsatisfied requirement
• Scenario D: Setup and configuration?

Review comments for these scenarios are to be found here RM C/ALM review comments

The following scenarios are being investigated:

• Scenario C: [[FixProblemRequirement][Find and fix an unsatisfied requirement]
• RmRequirementElaboration
• RmRequirementChangeNotification
• Requirements organisation
  • static classification of related requirement (eg into a specification document, or a baseline)
  • dynamic classification (lifecycle state?)
  • supporting discovery (e.g., tagging, searching)
• Scenario S1: Define Requirements Baseline (See RmScenariosSiemens.) How to acheive the precondition of RmRequirementCompletedScenario scenario - a known collection of requirements to be considered for a release and/or milestone.
• "Suspect links" scenarios
  • What does "suspect" mean?
  • Definition, Identification, Resolution (Is it a notification, or a state? Is it user-bound or data-bound?)

Systems Engineering Scenarios

Here is a starting point for the general RM use cases for Systems Engineering:

• Prepare a response to a Customer Requirement/RFP
• Evaluate proposal response(s) from suppliers
• Author Requirements

–Discover
–Analyse
–Refine
–Decompose/Derive
–Categorise
–Prioritise

• Review Requirements

–Completeness
–Consistency
–Correctness
Linguistic
Technical

• Manage Requirement Changes

–Identify
–Evaluate
–Take Action

• Measure Requirements
• Publish Requirements
• Assess RM Processes

–Volatility
–Maturity

• Verify Requirements
• Validate Requirements
• PLM Integration
