Specify the Investment that Owns Requirements

You can indicate the product, application, asset, service, project, or program that represents the eventual delivery of the requirement. The relationship provides a mechanism to group related requirements for a specific investment. You can only define one investment as the owner of a requirement.

You can define this relationship when you first create the requirement, on the Create Requirement page, and using the Requirement: Properties - General page. The investment you define on this page serves as the owner of the requirement.

Example

You can have a list of requirements that describe new features for a product. Define the product investment as the owner of the requirement. Defining is a method of tracing requirements from planning to implementation phases.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the requirement.

   The general page appears.

2. In the General section of the page, select a value for the Investment field.

   The investment name is displayed next to the Investment field.

3. Save the changes.
