Requirements engineering fundamentals
Requirements engineering consists of two major stages: Requirements Definition and Requirements Management.
Requirements Definition consists of four parts: Elicitation, Analysis, Specification and Verification. The second stage is Requirements Management, which simplifies and enhances the communication and management of requirements, collaboration and verification throughout your company. Its activities include evaluating the effect of proposed changes, tracing individual requirements to downstream work products and tracking requirements status during development. You can monitor project status by knowing what percentage of the allocated requirements have been implemented and verified, just implemented or not yet fully implemented.
Requirements management helps you:
• Make sure that requirements are persistent at all levels of decomposition.
• Assess impact to reduce risk as a result of requirement change.
• Adapt to change throughout all levels of your traceability matrix.
• Incorporate test and QA into the process early.
• Find gaps in traceability.
• Ensure everything is accounted for.

Managing Complexity
As the pace of change increases, managing complexity becomes more difficult and the chances of having problems increase. Occasionally, we may be surprised by too much complexity, which can be very hard to handle. With its frequency and the implications, we can benefit from managing complexity in its own right. Further since we have a wide range of tools we should consider how much they help or if they hinder us, making things worse. This paper will identify several types of complexity; it will focus on one of them to consider our response, opportunities for improvement and also on the degree of help good tools can provide to manage that complexity.
