Hi,

Can you google ? 2 1st links by "requirement magament tools list" took me the great articles for you:
    * http://www.jiludwig.com/Requirements_Management_Tools.html
    * http://www.paper-review.com/tools/rms/read.php
I guese there are not so many free tools but you can check all from 2nd link to find free.

You could also search by "free Requirement managements tools" and found http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~iany/other/vendors.htm

P.S. If community needs I can also read the free seminar how to use Wiki+IssueTracker+SVN to manage requirements.

Hey there

I asked a similar question a while back on the Yahoo Requirements Engineering group.

The question and responses are listed here.  There are a few around, and there are some with some cheap licences also.

As for Bas' responses, I know and also recommend reading the Jiludwig site. It's a good intro to requirements management.

And remember - It's fine to have a tool, but unless you know how to use it you end up wasting a lot of time and effort.  An expert with an excel sheet is more effective than a dozen uninformed analysts with the best tools.

Lastly, we would love to get your feedback on the tool you select and use.  Please share your experience with us here.

Thanks for visiting and asking.

Craig,


I agree with you and we should separate tools and knowledge of requirements management theory. But if you have several hundred of reqs it's really hard to manage it by Word or Excel.
