Requirements: Workflow
To help explain the work involved in the Requirements discipline, we have
organized the activities and artifacts into workflow details as shown above.
Each workflow detail represents a high-level goal that needs to be acheived
to perform effective requirements management. Analyzing the problem and understanding
the stakeholders needs are the primary requirements goals during the Inception
phase of a project. During the Elaboration and Construction phases, the emphasis
shifts more towards initially defining and subsequently refining the system
definition in terms of the detailed requirements. Managing the system scope
and ongoing requirements change are addressed continuously throughout the
project.
The workflow details are shown in a logical, sequential order. As indicated
in the text above, they are applied continuously in varied order as needed
throughout the project. Here they are shown in the sequence that you would
most likely apply to the first iteration of a new project.
