Software is everywhere. The average cell phone for example contains an estimated 2 million lines of code. The vehicle you drive today contains upwards of 35 million lines of code and three years from now this number will rise to over 100 million. This level of complexity presents several challenges for the software engineering community, one of which is the ability to keep pace with the rapid cycle of innovation. This paper speaks specifically to the challenges that software engineering teams face in managing and responding to rapidly changing business requirements, the reasons behind frequent change, and why tools for requirements change management are essential in controlling an otherwise chaotic development process.
