Abstract: Many changes of system requirements can be continuously proposed during the life cycle of system. Those continuous changes of system requirements can cause many kinds of difficult and costly errors throughout the whole life cycle of system and make most of requirements engineering methods practically useless. An effective approach to manage requirements changes is, therefore, necessary for successful system development in practice. The paper suggests NRM (Need-based Requirements Management) model and a practical approach. NRM process, constructed on the NRM model to efficiently manage such continuous changes of system requirements. The NRM model has an ability to define the system requirements in 4W (Where, Who, Why, What) aspects so that system analysts can understand the requirements accurately, although general system requirements analysis methods define them in only 2W (Who, What) aspects. The NRM process, which is mainly consisted of V&V (Verification and Validation) activities, continuously watches requirements changes throughout the whole life cycle of system.
