Chapter 15 Working with the PowerDesigner Plugin for Visual Studio

Working with an RQM and Visual Studio Team System

A PowerDesigner Requirements Model (RQM) is used to create a hierarchy of project requirements that must be fulfilled during the development of the project.

For detailed information about developing and using an RQM, see the Requirements Modeling guide.

You can export RQM requirements to one or more Visual Studio Team System projects and then create task work items to structure how the requirements will be fulfilled. Doing so, permits you to link the power and simplicity of a PowerDesigner hierarchical RQM to your use of the Visual Studio Team System.
