What is the usual way which requirements are managed and made sure to be fulfilled in designs? Sorry if the question is vauge and overly general but i'm just looking for a crude description.
Thanks

$\begingroup$ A design brief, or project brief is usually written based on a proposal from some source - customer request, marketing request etc $\endgroup$– Solar MikeCommented Mar 14, 2022 at 8:56

$\begingroup$ @JonathanRSwift That's exactly what i was thinking about, but my question is more on how to turn those design specifications into design elements? Do you know anything about the transformation? Thank you very much $\endgroup$– r0k1mCommented Mar 14, 2022 at 11:41

$\begingroup$ @DKNguyen I always read about V&V as being at implementation time, do you know how it applies to the design stages? $\endgroup$– r0k1mCommented Mar 14, 2022 at 14:26

There are Requirements-Managing Tools like IBM-Doors etc. (Many to find in Google).
A very general designing approach might look like:
- Set the requirements of the product and conserve it in a list (e.g.) or a Requirements-Managing-Software
- Create the product regarding these requirements
- Check if all of the requirements are fulfilled
- Redesign if necessary

I recommend getting copies of some of the following to learn how to organize a project and its requirements.
IATF_16949_EN
INCOSE_SEHandbook
INCOSEGuideForWritingRqts
NASA_SystemsEngineering Handbook
These are pretty easy to track down online.
