Important Questions When Setting-Up RM
24
Design of InformationStructures
What requirements types shall we define?What attribute fields
shall requirements types contain?How shall we structure the overall
set of requirements?How can we map requirements to tests?
Usage & Workflow What requirements reports do we need?What
KPIs and dashboards shall we define?How shall we involve
customers?How shall we integrate external development partners?
Set-Up & Establish Which projects shall we select for
starting with tool-based RM?How can we train and support users?How
can we adapt RM to agile development?
