Creating an Objective and Requirement Diagram
With HOPEX System Blueprint, you can also create your objective and requirement diagram from a new project integrated in the library of components concerned.
An objective is a goal that a company/organization wants to achieve, or is the target set by a process or an operation. An objective allows you to highlight the features in a process or operation that require improvement.
A requirement is a need or expectation explicitly expressed, imposed as a constraint to be respected within the context of a project. This project can be a certification project or an organizational project or an information system project.
