Requirements (RQM)

A requirement is a clear and precise description of an action that must be implemented during a development process. Requirements can have a priority, status, workload, and other properties assigned to them, and can contain sub-requirements.

Note: All columns (except Title ID) are editable.

• Creating a Requirement
  You can create a requirement in a requirements document view or from the Browser or Model menu.
• Requirement Properties
  To view or edit a requirement's properties, double-click its Browser or list entry. The property sheet tabs and fields listed here are those available by default, before any customization of the interface by you or an administrator.
• Linking Requirements with Design Objects and External Files
  You can link requirements to design objects (objects from other types of models), external files, and other requirements on the Requirement Traceability Links tab. You can, optionally, specify a Link Type for each link.
• Assigning Workloads
  A workload is the time assigned to a person or team to satisfy a requirement. Values must be greater than or equal to zero, and limited to one decimal place (for example: 3.5).
