With systems engineering, it\u2019s necessary early in projects to document requirements. As lifecycles advance, validating that completed solutions meet requirements and business needs is essential for effective requirements management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- START: Parmonic embed-code for video -->\n<div data-v-id=\"moment\/143977\" class=\"parmonic-widget\" data-layout=\"single\"><\/div>\n<script defer src=\"https:\/\/js.static.parmonic.ai\/v5\/aw-single.js\"><\/script>\n<script defer src=\"https:\/\/js.static.parmonic.ai\/v5\/aw-init.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- END: Parmonic embed-code for video -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Requirements management software minimizes project risks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The webinar highlights Shell\u2019s functional and design requirements database that is used across projects and assets.
