Popis: Requirements are identified and elaborated on the basis of stakeholders' decisions. The reasoning behind those decisions can be expressed as rationales. Systematic rationale management offers both short-term benefits, such as clearer requirements leading to fewer defects, and long-term benefits, such as simplified requirements evolution. However, little guidance exists for managing requirements rationales. This article presents guidelines to pragmatically capture, trace, maintain, and reuse such rationales. A list of questions augments the guidelines, improving their usability.
