Article: (RD/REQM) Inter Relationships between Requirements Management and Requirements
Development by 
Hitesh Sanghavi

https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Article Dated: 7 February 2005
Legend:
RM: Requirements Management
RD: Requirements Development
Difference in objectives of RM and RD:
The purpose of RM is to “manage” the requirements of the project's products and product components whereas that of RD is to “produce” customer, product, and product component requirements. RM identifies inconsistencies between requirements and project's plans/work products, whereas RD analyzes the customer, product and product component requirements

 
Article: (REQM) Managing “Size Creep” in Software Development Projects by Robert D. Leinen Jr. Specialist Master, Deloitte Consulting LLP

https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Introduction
Over the last 30 to 40 years the software industry grown from small entrepreneurial ventures to an enormous entity that in one form or another plays a critical role to most businesses today. As the software industry has grown so has the need to improve and mature capabilities for developing quality software products and solutions. Consequently, there has been a lot of investment focused on perfecting methodologies and tools for managing projects and developing quality software, and the seemingly unending search for the holy grail of estimation. And although there are many identifiable risks to software projects (e.g., inadequate processes, poor quality, unclear goals and objectives, poorly defined requirements, unstable objectives/requirements, inadequate stakeholder involvement, etc.) that the innovations in tools and methodologies seek to address, there are hidden and less recognizable sources of risk which can persist unnoticed . Sometime these hidden risks are quite complex and very difficult to identify, even in situations where they have materialized and created issues for a project.
Article: (REQM) THE EFFECT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CMMI®
ON SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS CHANGE MANAGEMENT by LAWRENCE A. MANTRONE


https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Abstract

This thesis is intended to describe the changes in requirements change management
processes by an organization’s software development team after the organization has
successfully implemented a staged implementation of the Software Engineering Institute’s
Capability Maturity Model Integration® (CMMI®) for software development.
Such implementations are undertaken by organizations for a variety of reasons that generally include a desire to increase efficiency and predictability in software development endeavors. Model implementation calls for an integrated, staged approach of evaluating current software development practices employed by the organization and comparing them to the collection of industry best practices encapsulated in the model.

Presentation: (REQM) Requirements Management on the Cheap by John A. Downs, Prepared for the SEPG Conference February, 2002

 https://seir.sei.cmu.edu - Problems with Starting the
Requirements Management Process
• Software engineers do not know how (or like) to write or manage requirements documents
• Getting engineers to track changing requirements may be the straw that breaks the camelís back
• Commercially available tools are expensive and require a discipline that may not be available when starting up the process
• The organization may not be able to provide effective requirements management training, validation, or motivation to software projects due to resource limitations
