Summary: Advantages of an Integrated Requirements Management Solution The manner in which MKS integrated requirements management capabilities into MKS Integrity Manager demonstrates the flexibility and extensibility of this process modeling and workflow management tool. Requirements, features, and tasks are managed like any other issue (i.e., process item) stored in the MKS Integrity Manager database. One clear benefit of building requirements management artifacts from issues is that the artifacts can be linked to affected source code files using change packages. No integration effort is required to facilitate traceability of requirements and change management from the same repository. No integration required. MKS Requirements 2005 is a complete and self-contained requirements management solution because it's built with the process modeling and workflow management tool MKS Integrity Manager. Contrast the approach followed by MKS to the model used by other tool vendors. Other requirements management products must be integrated with a software configuration management tool to provide traceability from requirements to source code.
