What is Requirements Management?

Requirements management is the process of gathering, analyzing, and validating the needs and wants for the given product or system being developed. Successful requirements management ensures that completed deliverables meet the expectations of key stakeholders. Requirements can be managed using documents, however, complex systems or products in highly regulated industries mitigate risk by using trusted requirements management tools.
