Thank you Patrick for the feedback. We'll test and see if we have an issue with the MIL-STD-961E Requirements Document Template.

Hello there,

If anyone is reading this I have registered and tried to download the MIL-STD-961E Requirements Document Template as PROMISED but to no avail.

I keep clicking on the pdf link and end up back here saying login or register to download BUT I am ALREADY logged in when this is happening.

This ie extremely frustrating!!

Good bye.

Useful!

In business analysis, requirement analysis and gathering is one of the important process. I liked your effort to write this article it is informative. I am professional trainer offer business analyst training and placement services.

Been doing this for a long time. It's a core deliverable of UX designers.

This looks good

Because we (manufacturers of traceability tools) are criticized in the article, I would like to comment on this: The most recent source in the article is from 2009... it is perhaps a bit outdated. We have actually done something since then ... and continue to work.

Here is a customer statement as proof:

“The elimination of manual effort, especially the manual maintenance of Excel matrices, is a great relief; YAKINDU Traceability helps us to work 70% more efficiently and clearly structured in our projects ... The use of this professional software tool was very well received by the OEMs (and strengthened the relationship of trust)”

A nice and very important contribution. We totally agree that Requirements Engineering is indispensable in all – even in agile project settings! In our certification schemes we provide an insight how to elicit, document and manage requirements in agile projects. Our syllabus and handbook is available at no charge and for download from: https://www.ireb.org/de/cpre/re-agile/

Regarding the section about "Requirements Traceability Best Practices":

I'm missing one point: Be benfitial! With well managed traceabiltiy data, it is so easy to provide reports that help both managers and engineers in their daily work. Here's a rough illustration and an emperical prove for this point: https://www.itemis.com/en/yakindu/traceability/documentation/user-guide/benefits_of_requirements_traceability#benefits_of_requirements_traceability

Great article series on requirements! Thank you Dan for your insights.
