Sammanfattning
Context: Integrating Requirements Management (RM) into Agile and DevOps
practices can address the lack of documentation and feature tracking in many agile
projects.
Objective: This study examines the implementation of RM within an agile workflow
at Combitech AB, aiming to identify challenges, benefits, factors affecting developer
acceptance, and propose effective adaptations.
Method: Using action research, two intervention cycles were conducted with a
software development team at Combitech, focusing on incremental RM adoption.
Qualitative methods, including workshops and expert consultations, gathered data
on its impact on the DevOps workflow.
Conclusion: RM improves traceability and communication between developers
and stakeholders but faces challenges like perceived intrusiveness and the need for
upfront investment. Simplified RM practices and better requirement visualization
enhance acceptance. Despite initial challenges, RM integration offers long-term
benefits in communication and documentation, especially considering project complexity,
team dynamics, and stakeholder engagement. The findings provide insights
and strategies for successful Agile RM implementation.
