Each requirement tagged to the specific customer segment and needs it addresses. Tracked so that late stage tradeoffs are based on service & revenue impact.

Manage Requirements

Tradeoffs based on market, service and revenue impact as well as technical considerations. Identify issues & track resolution. Identify risks, develop mitigation plans, & track. Get consensus & commitment throughout the organization on all requirements.
