Requirements Lifecycle

Overview

This skill guides the complete requirements lifecycle from elicitation through change management. It covers both CMMI process areas:

• RD (Requirements Development) - Creating requirements: elicitation, analysis, specification
• REQM (Requirements Management) - Maintaining requirements: traceability, change control, alignment

Key capabilities:

• Elicit requirements from stakeholders without gold plating
• Prioritize conflicting requirements (MoSCoW, value/effort)
• Create bidirectional traceability (requirements ↔ design ↔ tests)
• Manage requirements volatility with impact analysis
• Scale practices from Level 2 (user stories) → Level 3 (templates) → Level 4 (metrics)
