The Interplay between Requirements Relationships Knowledge and Requirements Change towards Software Project Success: An Assessment Using Partial Least Square (PLS)

Changing of requirements in a software project should be managed effectively. However, managing changes is a challenge due to many reasons. One of the reasons is requirements do not stand alone and they are typically related to one another in several ways. The relationships may impact individual requirement as well as the entire software project. Thus, this research aims to investigate how these types of requirements relationships impact requirements change as well as software project success. We examined the impacts from the perspective of business analyst using PLS. The findings can be used as a guide on working with requirements relationships knowledge that is useful for business analysts and research community.
