Usage of the Requirements Diagram |
One usage is to show how Requirements are connected together in a hierarchy or, even more importantly, how Requirements are connected to other elements. The experienced modeler will define and manage the Requirements in the Specification Manager and then use the Requirements diagram to show how each Requirement is related to upstream process elements such as Business Drivers, and downstream process elements such as Use Cases, User Stories, User Experience designs and solution Components. |
