Requirements
Change impact
Which requirements a change touches, with source, before the change is decided.
How you work it in Colleag
- 1
Describe the change to the colleague.
- 2
The colleague traces the change through the requirement documents and their dependencies.
- 3
Review the affected requirements and what must be reworded.
- 4
Let the colleague draft the changes; you approve.
A worked example
“We lower the operating-temperature requirement to minus 30. Which requirements are affected?”
The requirements referencing the temperature directly, the requirements depending on them and the test cases verifying them, with rewording drafts. You see the whole chain before the decision is made.

The material
- The requirement documents and their cross-references
- The traceability to test
- The change material
You approve
Everything the colleague produces is a proposal with sources. Nothing is published, sent or saved to the archive without a human approving it, and every figure traces to its material.
