Requirements management using SysML

Abstract

Managing the complexity of the highly interdependent requirements in developing projects is crucial for projects success. Object-oriented modeling languages such as SysML provides a framework to model these relationships, making for a tool to comprehend complexity, comply with quality, and being responsive to change in requirements. These strong abilities arises from the nature of object oriented modeling, allowing traceability and... In this article, a brief introduction to SysML and requirements management will be introduced laying the basis for further discussion about how it can be taken in use in managing complex development projects. Three views will particularly be .... , affecting the project manager ... harnesing complexity, reducing risk and as a means of communication.

Introduction

Managing the complexity of the highly interdependent requirements in developing projects is crucial for projects success...
