Tasks TASK 1 Support the maintenance of requirements management processes The PRS division provides, among other, requirements management and configuration management support to the development and exploitation of all EUMETSAT systems. In pursuing this, the PRS division proposes and promotes relevant requirements management standards, methodologies and processes. In this task, the Key Person will support the maintenance of the highlevel methodologies and processes for requirements management. This maintenance must ensure the compliance with other highlevel organisational processes, the harmonisation with the needs and constraints from parallel disciplines, the consideration of specific characteristics of the different EUMETSAT systems and must consider eventual constraints regarding their technical implementation. Task 1.1 Support the formulation, modelling and maintenance of the PRS requirements management methodologies and processes in support of EUMETSAT systems Task 1.2 Ensure compliance of the PRS processes with relevant standards and the EUMETSAT reference process models providing input to their update as necessary Task 1.3 Maintain close interaction with the Information and Configuration Management function as well as with Quality Assurance, for compliance to related requirements and constraints Task 1.4 Maintain close interaction with the different EUMETSAT systems supported by PRS for requirements management activities, to ensure that systemspecific characteristics are properly considered Task 1.5 Maintain close interaction with the EUMETSAT Corporate Information and Communication Technology Unit ICT regarding the technical implementation of the requirements management processes using tools in place. TASK 2 Support the creation and maintenance of the EUMETSAT Product Requirements Framework EUMETSAT is maintaining user and product requirements for different satellite programmes and the network of Satellite Application Facilities SAFs. Currently, those requirements are decomposed and traced to lower level requirements within each programme. In this task, the Key Person will support the creation and maintenance of an overall EUMETSAT Product Requirements Framework, which will provide a combined overview over all user and product requirements, including traceability to the applications, the owning programme, the developing and production entities, the product maturity and the operational performance. The following subtasks are identified. Task 2.1 Support the formulation of usecases and detailed requirements for the Product Requirements Framework Task 2.2 Support the definition of the Product Requirements Framework, including the design for the technical implementation, the interfaces to the EUMETSAT programmes and the processes for its usage and maintenance Task 2.3 Support the implementation and maintenance of the Product Requirements Framework Task 2.4 Maintain close interaction with relevant EUMETSAT Divisions and teams providing input to and or using the Product Requirements Framework, and include their feedback into the evolution of the Framework. TASK 3 Provide requirements engineering support to EUMETSAT programmes and projects The PRS division provides requirements engineering support to the EUMETSAT programme divisions and external projects. In this task, the Key Person will support the definition and evolution of the specific requirements database implementations for the concerned programmes and projects, as well as support to its daytoday usage by the involved teams. Task 3.1 Support the definition, implementation and maintenance of the requirements management databases for EUMETSAT programmes and projects Task 3.2 Import existing requirements into the requirements management database Task 2.3 Support the exchange of requirements with external partners Task 3.4 Maintain traceability between requirements in the requirements management database Task 3.4 Generate requirements documents, requirements metrics, and requirements traceability reports for publication in the EUMETSAT Document Management System Task 3.5 Support the definition of the related documentation and working procedures.
