A visual description of which other objects a certain functional requirement is related to. It usually contains a selection of surrounding objects and relationships to support a specific analysis.
Purpose (Use)
The requirements environment model is used to analyze relationships to other objects. It is also used to create relationships that cannot be accommodated in other models (to avoid messy collaboration models).
Way of working
- Lay out the Functional Requirement in the middle of the model.
- Use the EA tool's functionality to bring out the relationships and objects of interest.
