Is Requirements Management (in systems and product development) still relevant?
As we reach the close of a year and move into a new one,
it's often time to take stock of what we've been doing and making plans for the
New Year. We look at what we've been doing right and what we could change and
improve. So since this is a requirements management blog I thought it would
worth posing the question and giving an opinion on whether requirements
management (in the domain of systems and product development - my focus area)
is still relevant today and as we move into... [More]

Reflections from INCOSE 2012 on Making ‘Just Enough’ Traceability Effective
I was lucky enough last week to travel to the INCOSE
( International Council on Systems Engineering ) International Symposium 2012 near Rome, Italy.
An excellent opportunity to meet the systems engineering community and hear
about their interests and concerns. We had lots of traffic to the very stylish
IBM booth where we talked about the IBM Rational solutions for systems
engineering and the latest from IBM Research on tool interoperability and
design optimization & trade-off. I’d like... [More]
