<strong>Challenge: I need to establish Requirements Management (RM) within my large systems engineering project, but how?</strong>
<ul>
	<li>How can I establish RM without incurring expensive overhead and time sink?</li>
	<li>Can RM facilitate more than just traceability?</li>
</ul>
<strong>Our Lean Requirements Management process emphasize speed, accuracy, and efficiency through automation.</strong>
<ul>
	<li>Reduce the lead time involved in converting a System Requirements Document (SRD) into a library of logically linked (Level 3) system requirements by automatically parsing SRD documents using advanced text searching algorithms.</li>
	<li>Create linked child requirements (Level 4 &amp; 5) through automated scripting to very quickly generate a Requirements Traceability Verification Matrix (RTVM)</li>
	<li>Facilitate Integration and Test (I&amp;T) processes by leveraging automation to cascade I&amp;T updates into the RTVM</li>
</ul>
The picture below examines 3 common RM pitfalls by comparing Traditional RM against our Lean RM approach.

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Example: NASA</strong></p>
<strong>Challenge</strong>: Conduct RM for Space Network communication platform upgrades within compressed schedules, using minimal resources.

<strong>Solution</strong>: Engineered a Lean process, which automated tasks on the critical path to establish and maintain new projects.  This process reduced resource needs by over 50% when compared to traditional processes.
