Main Description
This task describes the decisions involved in organizing the project requirements. A large requirement set will quickly
become unmanageable if it is not organized so that the analysts and other project team members can easily find them. The
organizational structure should be captured in the requirements management plan. |
Steps
Categorize requirements
Assign attributes
Analyze and understand each individual requirement. As part of the initial analysis of each requirement, assign requirement
attribute values to each requirement. This improves your ability to track and manage the requirements. Review existing
attribute values and update as necessary. Attributes are defined in Artifact: Requirements Attributes. |
Organize the requirements
Help the stakeholders understand the requirements better by organizing them into packages. The definition of the packages
is usually organization-specific, and may sometimes be project-specific. See Guideline: Packaging Requirements for more information. |
