Management of requirements in NPP modernisation projects : Project report 2005

The overall objective of the project MORE is to improve the means for managingthe large amounts of evolving requirements in Nordic NPP modernisationprojects. In accordance to this objective, the activity will facilitate the industrialutilisation of the research results from the project TACO. On the basis ofexperiences in the Nordic countries, the overall aim of the TACO project hasbeen to identify the best practices and most important criteria for ensuringeffective communication in relation to requirements elicitation and analysis,understandability of requirements to all parties, and traceability of requirements.The project resulted in the development of a traceability model for handlingrequirements from their origins and through their final shapes. Particularemphasis for the MORE project in 2005 was put on utilising a prototype of a tool(TRACE) intended to support an adopted approach to dependable requirementsengineering, suitable for modelling and handling large amounts of requirementsrelated to all stages of the systems development process and not only thosetraditionally including requirements at high-level stages.
