Requirements Management in EA Corporate

[bonzo5]

 :)Could you briefly state the Requirements Management capabilities of EA (RM traces and requirements views) and what enhancements an add-in tool like RaQuest brings?  It looks like <traces> relationships and the full traceability aspects of RM throughout the model must be done manually.  Can EA produce a Requirements Diagram or Parametrics Diagram (I know SysML proposes these new diagrams, but some tools offer them now).  Thanks.

EA is a bit limited in respect to RM. For small and medium sized projects its okay, but for large projects you definitely need to spend real money for specialized RM tools. RaQuest is adding some automation to EAs capabilities and pushes it to medium/larger projects. I can't tell details since I did not have the need for it so far. Maybe someone else can comment?
