Hi All,

I am very interested to understand more of this and perhaps someone here could help.

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong forum, though I did search and found nothing.  So this seemed to be the next logical choice.

Where I picked up on RM (Requirements Management) was from seeing it initially referred to in job postings for Airbus.  Where basically there was a skill needed stating that 'Knowledge of DOORS would be an advantage'

This got me to start digging into and research what is DOORS about. This lead me to understand it is about (correct me if I am wrong) RM (Requirements Management).

Which is something that I am very interested in.  As I see looking back at my experiences it occurs to me that it is something that was never really done.  Perhaps if it was it was never done very well or the process was never very transparent, which it should be.

Digging further into DOORS leads me to find it it a product created and the full name is IBM RATIONAL DOORS.  After many days (and more nights :) ) I find that there is quite alot of interesting information out there on RM and I would like to know more.

The one thing that occurs to me is that when I do a search for work in this area.  Either by title or skill, keyword search I get very little in the way of 'hits'.  So what I am wondering is are there actaully jobs out there for people to do this sort of work?  Is it perhaps that this skill is just one that is considered to be part of a 'Project Manager' role or ..... I am open for suggestions or for someone to fill in the gaps?

So could anyone/everyone with a little/alot of information on this please help me out gain a better understanding on this?

As I said I have done quite a bit of reading online so far through LinkedIn and on the IBM RATIONAL DOORS website.  I expect the next step will be to buy some books...?  I am also investigating doing training. Although before I go further down this path I want to gain more understanding about the how practise and role involving RM.  Though training in something new that can be applied to improve the quality of the work you do is always a benefit in my mind. Also if it increases your skill set as well.

I have emailed several companies making inquires to better understand this 'sphere' of expertise and hope to gain a better understanding.  So if there are those out there actually workign in this industry or have knowledge of it I would be most grateful for any insights you care to impart.

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards
