Products, both updated versions and altogether new ones, are often to market without proper verification and validation. Consequently, product design or performance problems are not detected until after the product is already shipped.<\/P><br \/>\n<P><BR \/>Moreover, issues such as delays to market and cost overruns can have devastating impacts on getting a product to market.<\/P><br \/>\n<P><BR \/>Even worse. If a problem is not discovered until after it releases to market, it is exponentially more expensive to address, either from product recalls, litigation or both. Here is a chart to show how catching problems earlier can make a significant difference in the success of a product. <BR \/>&nbsp;<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P><span class=\"lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center\" style=\"width: 564px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/09\/Requirement-Validation-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"Requirement-Validation-image.jpg\" title=\"Requirement-Validation-image.jpg\" \/><span class=\"lia-inline-image-caption\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();\">Optimizing Tracking: Catching Problems vs Late Discovery<\/span><\/span><\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>As products are being created companies are finding it difficult to understand the dynamic relationships between all the requirements, sub-systems and domains to intelligently assess the impact of change.<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Teamcenter Requirements Validation helps you investigate those cross-domain associations and relationships.
