A software development process includes conversion of the customer-requirements into a complete working application. A customer, who wants an application, comes up with certain requirements and provides them to the development team in order to get the application developed. According to the requirements gathered from the customer, the software-development team develops the project and delivers it to the customer when it is completely ready. Now, the question arises, whether the application has successfully fulfilled all the requirements given by the customer and is the application released within the given deadline. 

To be successful, software must be delivered on time and on budget, and they must meet the customer's requirements. However, this is not a simple task, because, requirements are likely to change in the course of an application's development life cycle. By organizing and tracking customer's requirements, and managing the requirement changes, a software-development team can improve the chances of completing the software on time and on budget, and delivering a product as per the customer's satisfaction. 

To develop and release an application as per the customer's requirements, budget, and time, the development team will have to take effective steps in order to manage the requirements throughout the development life cycle. These steps include clear understanding of the requirements given by the customer, organizing the requirements into main and sub requirements, documenting the requirements, and finally converting the requirements into working modules. Only this much is not sufficient for an application to be developed and released successfully. In the course of time, the customer may want to change some of the requirements or even add or remove some requirements. These changes are then intimated to development team. The manager of the development team has to search all the documents to find the existing requirement(s) that needs to be changed. The manager must also take care of the impact caused on the project by the changed requirement(s). Once again, (s)he has to update and reorganize all the impacted documents.  Sometimes, requirement changes may affect the work-procedure and labor adversely. 

A small change in customer's requirements may cause many adverse effects on the application's development life cycle, which in turn leads to conflicts in requirement analysis and documentation. Thus, prior to the development life cycle, it is very essential for the development team to elicit, organize, and document all the requirements  as per the customer. 

Thus, to reduce all these burdens,  faced by the development team and the project managers, Accord has come up with a systematic and powerful tool,  called ReMa, which helps to track the requirements, manage them,  and organize them systematically throughout the development life cycle.
