About Requirements

Requirements in CA Clarity PPM represent the customer needs. A requirement includes:

• Properties. You can define the attributes of your requirements that drive your planning cycle decisions.
• Hierarchy. Requirements represent a list of the items for your organization to deliver. Manage them as individual requests or group and associate them within a hierarchy of requirements.
• Dependencies. You can indicate dependency relationships that exist between requirements. A dependency can occur when a requirement must be completed before another one. Or, two requirements can be mutually dependent.
• Processes. You can create and run requirement-related processes. You can build your own processes for requirements.

  See the CA Clarity Basics User Guide for more information.

• Audit Trail. You can record changes to field-level attributes in an audit trail log.
