Description
In the role of a project manager or business systems analyst, it is standard practice to convene with a project team to finalize and secure agreement on project requirements. Nevertheless, it often occurs that clients introduce additional features that fall outside the agreed-upon scope detailed in the current requirements documentation. This situation, commonly referred to as "scope creep" or "feature creep," poses a significant risk to the success of the project, making it essential for project managers to adeptly navigate these challenges when they arise. To effectively recognize scope creep, having a comprehensive understanding of the initial requirements is crucial. It is advisable to maintain a well-organized requirements management document that encompasses a mission statement, a background statement addressing needs, an overview of high-level features, and as many specific requirements as possible, all of which should align with the identified features. By creating a detailed and extensive set of requirements, you establish a clear baseline for the system’s functionalities, which can often help to prevent or at least lessen the impact of scope creep right from the start. Additionally, regular communication with stakeholders can further ensure that everyone remains aligned on project goals and expectations, minimizing the likelihood of unexpected changes.
Description
Requirements Portal by Altium is a requirements management and verification tool integrated directly into Altium’s solutions, including Altium Develop, Altium Agile Teams and Altium Agile Enterprise.
It enables engineering teams developing hardware products and embedded systems to create, store, and manage formalized requirements and link them to designs and verification data.
Each requirement is traceable and connected to upstream system definitions and downstream design and verification artifacts, such as schematics, PCB layouts, BOMs, and test cases, providing visibility from system design through implementation, verification, handoff, and certification.
This helps teams reduce rework, avoid misalignment across disciplines, and simplify compliance activities.

Why choose Requirements Portal?
Unlike traditional requirements management systems that are rigid, expensive and maintained by dedicated admins, Requirements Portal offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-learn alternative that delivers a fast return on investment for engineering teams.
Compared to document-based approaches that are near-impossible to scale beyond a few hundred requirements, Requirements Portal helps you scale across complex products and multiple projects with thousands of requirements.
