Summary

Requirements are managed and inconsistencies with plans and work products are identified.

Description

The work group maintains a current and approved set of requirements over the life of the project by doing the following:

  • Managing all changes to requirements
  • Maintaining relationships among requirements, plans, and work products
  • Ensuring alignment among requirements, plans, and work products
  • Taking corrective action


If the Service Delivery, Strategic Service Management, or Incident Resolution and Prevention process areas are implemented, their processes will generate stakeholder requirements that will also be managed by requirements management processes.

Refer to the Work Monitoring and Control (WMC) (CMMI-SVC) process area for more information about managing corrective action to closure.
