Real-Time Collaboration & Compliance
Enable instant team collaboration with commenting and updates, while maintaining audit-ready logs and detailed reporting for smooth compliance and stakeholder communication.
What is Requirements Management?
Requirements management is the process of capturing, organizing, tracking, and updating the needs and expectations of stakeholders throughout the product lifecycle. These include functional requirements, performance goals, safety regulations, and customer expectations. Effective requirements management ensures that product teams build the right features, comply with standards, and reduce costly revisions.
Modern product development involves increasingly complex systems that demand structured and transparent documentation of what needs to be built. Whether working in agile, waterfall, or hybrid methodologies, managing evolving requirements is key to delivering successful products on time and within budget.
Common Challenges with Requirements
Many teams still rely on disconnected tools such as spreadsheets, static documents, or email for managing requirements. This leads to:
Poor traceability across the product lifecycle
Misaligned team communication
Missed compliance steps
Difficulty adapting to change
Fragmented stakeholder feedback
These problems often surface late in the development process, when changes are more costly and disruptive. Without a dedicated requirements management system, teams face delays, rework, and increased risk of regulatory failure.
How Nora IPLM Solves These Challenges
Requirements Capture: Gather and organize requirements with structured forms. Assign metadata, priorities, and owners. Categorize by type (for example, mechanical, software, or regulatory).
Requirements Traceability: Visualize links between requirements, items, BOMs, test cases, and workflows. Automatically generate and update your traceability matrix.
Real-Time Collaboration: Collaborate across teams with comments, mentions, and change tracking. Avoid confusion by keeping all discussions tied to the right requirement.
Change Impact Analysis: Understand how changes to requirements affect dependent objects. Plan, review, and document impacts before execution.
Compliance Support: Document control, approval workflows, and version tracking help you stay audit-ready. This is ideal for aerospace, automotive, and medtech industries.
Built-in Flexibility: Nora IPLM lets you configure forms, views, and workflows without writing code. Teams can easily adjust how requirements are captured and reviewed, supporting agile, hybrid, or stage-gate processes.
