Requirements Development

• Capture stakeholder, customer, regulatory, and business requirements.
• Develop high-quality system requirements using established requirements engineering best practices.
• Ensure requirements are clear, complete, consistent, feasible, testable, and traceable.
• Define requirement acceptance criteria, verification methods, and operating conditions.

Requirements Analysis & Decomposition

• Analyze customer needs and convert them into system features and requirements.
• Perform requirements decomposition and allocation to subsystems and components.
• Support system architecture development and ensure requirement alignment.
• Identify gaps, conflicts, assumptions, and dependencies.

Traceability Management

• Establish and maintain bidirectional traceability from:
• Customer Needs / VoC
• Features
• System Requirements
• Architecture Elements
• Verification & Validation Activities
• Manage traceability throughout the development lifecycle.

Verification & Validation Support

• Define verification methods (Test, Analysis, Inspection, Demonstration).
• Support development of verification plans and test cases.
• Ensure requirements are measurable and verifiable.

Change Management
