A requirements management tool is a software application that helps the project team to maintain the traceability of requirements for a software system. A requirements management tool can store, organize, link, track, and report on the requirements and their attributes, such as status, priority, source, owner, and dependencies1. By using a requirements management tool, the project team can manage the large number of requirements more efficiently and effectively, and ensure that they are aligned with the business needs and the solution scope. A requirements management tool can also facilitate communication and collaboration among the stakeholders, and support other activities, such as planning, analysis, design, testing, and change management.
