Requirements engineering is the discipline of eliciting, analyzing, writing, validating, and managing requirements. Its activities, process, and how it differs from management.

Requirements analysis checks requirements for clarity, consistency, and feasibility, then prioritizes them. What it involves and why it matters, with an example.

EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) uses simple templates to write clear, testable requirements. The patterns explained with before-and-after examples.

Change impact analysis traces what a requirement change will affect before it is made, using links to designs and tests. Definition, process, and an example.

A product backlog is the prioritized list of everything a team might build for a product. Definition, how it is maintained, and how it differs from a sprint backlog.

In Azure DevOps, a feature is a mid-level work item for a distinct capability, sitting between epics and user stories. Definition, example, and hierarchy.

In Azure DevOps, an epic is the top-level work item for a large initiative that spans multiple features. Definition, an example, and how it differs from a feature.

The Azure DevOps work item hierarchy runs Epic to Feature to Story to Task, linking daily work to big goals. Structure explained with an example.

A work item in Azure DevOps tracks one piece of work, like a story, bug, or task, with fields, status, and links. Types explained, plus how they aid traceability.

Requirements management in Azure DevOps means capturing and tracing requirements inside work items, not separate docs. What it covers, and where native gaps sit.
