Requirement (Portfolio)

The Requirement screen consolidates the requirements declared across every project of the portfolio. Useful for business traceability and regulatory compliance.

Reached through the Requirement menu of a project portfolio.

Consolidated register

Columns are the fields of the Requirement entity, shared by every project:

ColumnContent
NameRequirement statement
DescriptionFull text
CodeInternal or external reference (standard, contract)
OriginWhere the requirement comes from — customer, standard, regulation
ImportanceThe level of requirement
Coverage typeHow the requirement is covered
Coverage rateThe degree of coverage reached
CostThe associated cost
TaskThe plan task covering it, if any

An administrator can add their own columns through custom fields — a processing status, for instance, is added that way.

Analysing

Like the other consolidated registers, this screen is a grid: sorting, filtering and grouping do the analysis.

  • Group by dragging a column header into the bar provided — by Origin to gather the requirements of one customer or one standard, by Importance to focus on the critical ones, by Project for the spread.
  • Sort on Coverage rate to surface the least covered requirements.
  • Scenario — the funnel narrows the scope to a selection of projects. An orange badge on the button shows the number of unticked projects, hence missing from the list.
  • ExportExcel (.xlsx) or CSV (.csv), over the displayed columns.
No coverage matrix

The screen does not produce a matrix crossing requirements and deliverables, and does not archive a dated version of the register. For an audit file, the practice is to export the register to Excel at the required date and keep that file: the export is the record, not an internal snapshot.
