Requirement Group Lifecycle

The Requirement Group policy governs the lifecycle of a specifications folder that organizes requirement specifications and specification sub-folders.

This page discusses:

Private

The Owner or object owner can see the specifications folder in the "Private" state. It is not visible to other members of the Collaborative Space when it is in this state. .

In Work

A specifications folder is created in the "In Work" state. When the specifications folder is in this state, sub specifications folders and specifications can be added and edited as needed, and it can be reviewed by the appropriate people as needed. The specifications folder can be promoted to the "Frozen" state when all needed information has been incorporated.

Frozen

When a specifications folder is in the "Frozen" state, its content is frozen to changes. The Requirements Manager must demote the specifications folder to "In Work" to modify it. Only the Leader can modify the specifications folder in the "Frozen" state without having to demote it first.

Released

Each specification in the specifications folder must be in the "Released" state before the specifications folder itself can be promoted to the "Released" state.

Obsolete

In the "Obsolete" state, the specifications folder is considered no longer usable and cannot be connected to any specification objects. The object owner can demote the chapter when it is in this state.
