Requirement management is a complex process but becomes much simpler and adaptive when accomplished using R4J. Whether your organisation is predominantly agile, following iterative or sequential methods, the aim of the effective requirements manager is to oversee the development process through to delivery and operation of the product to ensure that the baseline is what is delivered to the customer in a timely and cost effective manner.
