Managing Requirements › Requirements

Requirements

You create requirements to identify and track needed abilities for the product.

Requirements that you create are listed on the Requirements list page. You can filter and sort the requirements to see only the information you want in the list. You can enter requirements using one of the following methods:

• Click the Requirements link on the Detailed Planning menu and click New Requirement.
• Open the details page for a product, source, release, or feature and click New Requirement in the Requirements section.

You can view requirements for a specific product, release, and feature from the detail page for that object.

Requirements use version control to manage drafts and approved versions of a requirement. When you create and save a requirement, the Status field changes to Draft. The method for creating an approved version depends on whether Requirement Change Management (RCM), is enabled:

• If RCM is enabled, the requirement owner sends an approval request to the product owner. The product owner approves or rejects the requirement draft. If approved, the requirement state changes to Approved and the version number of the requirement increments.
• If RCM is not enabled, either the requirement owner or the product owner can create a new approved version. The status changes to Approved and the version number increments.
