Requirements Management

Deliver Higher Quality Solutions

Enterprise Architect has powerful tools to help visualize requirements and integrate them into the development environment.

Key Tools:

Model Requirements

Create and view requirements as elements directly within the model.
Record essential meta-data including a short description, status, difficulty, priority, type, functional, non-functional, and more.
Create custom properties such as estimated cost, and customer sign-off.
View and add requirements in a hierarchical table format.
Model interrelationships and dependencies.
Apply optional automatic element numbering.
Color indicates the status of each element.

Use the traceability window to analyze the impact of change.
Identify and document relationships in a tabular format with the Relationship Matrix.
Record continuous changes to the Requirements model using auditing.
Create a snapshot of your project using baselines. Then compare it against future states to identify and roll back individual changes.

Model Use Cases.
Create Use Case Scenarios to quickly elicit detailed requirements.
Document Business Rules to capture and utilize valuable business logic.
Model usage scenarios with Sequence Diagrams.
Model business processes using BPMN.
Build user interface mock-ups using Win32 User Interface tools, then trace components to requirements.

Import requirements from an external CSV file.
Drag and drop requirements from written documents onto diagrams to automatically create requirement elements.
Include written requirements and user stories as linked documents from model elements.
Import requirements from 3rd party tools.
