Mission
The purpose of the Requirements Working Group (RWG) is to advance the practices, education and theory of systems engineering through excellence in needs and requirements definition and management, verification, and validation across the lifecycle.
The RWG work contributes to the realization of INCOSE’s Vision 2035.
Goals
- Develop and maintain INCOSE’s body of knowledge on with needs and requirements development and management across all systems engineering lifecycle process activities.
- Communicate the importance of the relationship of needs and requirements to other systems engineering activities and artifacts.
- Engage with the SE community, particularly through collaboration with other Working Groups.
- Promote best practices associated with needs, requirements, verification, and validation in today’s increasingly complex, software intensive systems.
- Continue research into needs and requirements definition and management, including understanding the role of needs, requirements, verification, and validation across the lifecycle.
- Support INCOSE’s efforts to move from a document-centric to a data-centric practice of SE.
