A Novel Framework for Change Requirement Management (CRM) In Agile Software Development (ASD)

Requirements changes play a huge role in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Therefore, the change requirement management (CRM) is always considered an important activity in SDLC. Changing one requirement have a major impact on other requirements especially when teams are working from geographically different locations then it's become difficult to manage, categorize, organize and track requirement changes therefore CRM is considered as difficult task in SDLC especially in agile methodology. This paper review different research papers and identify the major problems associated with each existing framework such as time complexity, quick cost estimation, verification of implemented and unimplemented requirements and customer notification. On this basis of identified problems this paper proposed a framework that provides a way how to categorize requirements, track implemented/unimplemented requirements, Save/Update requirements in repository and provide notification to stakeholder about current status of requirement. Proposed framework facilitates organizations to manage changing requirements in agile software development (ASD) and reduces overall complexity and traceability issues of RCM.
