Requirements management is a project management strategy that has to be used by any organisation in order to make sure that the expectations coming from its customers, internal and external stakeholders are properly identified and managed. These expectations are defined as requirements; the purpose of requirements engineering is to track, identify and control these requirements, and any changes to requirements, at any time in the project process. Requirements management helps defining a project and providing a framework, allowing the project to be tracked and the objectives to be completed. A good requirements management is the key to projects success and better business results. A poor requirements management often lead to project failure: delayed projects, budget overruns, or products that don't come out as designed. Requirements management can be handled by using different kinds of tools, which can either be manual processes or specialised tools. Requirements can be defined as product (or functional) requirements, defined by conducting a functional analysis, or process (non-functional) requirements. Requirements management has to be carried out non only in the beginning of the project but all along the life-cycle of the project.
