Traceable Requirements Management

Traceable Requirements Management allows global development organizations to drive consistency in a shared environment when capturing customer, regulatory standards, and market driven requirements. Requirements can be defined and decomposed into a hierarchy, and fulfilled through the design, implementation, and testing of final products to provide traceability throughout product development.

Traceable Requirements Management helps you to improve efficiencies and effectiveness of their requirements management process by:

  • Capturing, and importing requirements from an external specification.
  • Maintaining requirements traceability back to the original customer and source documents
  • Improving configuration of requirements to reduce development costs and project schedule slippage by establishing baselines agreed to by all stakeholders
  • Enhancing sharing and communication of requirements to cross functional organizations resulting in less rework, missed objectives, and missed deadlines

The benefits of Traceable Requirements Management are maximized when used with Variant Management and CATIA apps to define complex products, including their functional and logical aspects. In addition, as requirements are linked to program and project management activities using Project Management, full traceability is established throughout the entire development process ensuring that the products that are developed to meet original market goals.
