Learning Hub Requirements Portal Requirements ‑ Driven Design in Practice

Requirements ‑ Driven Design in Practice

Design engineers — across electronics, mechanical, and software — face constant pressure to turn customer and stakeholder requirements into working hardware. When requirements live in disconnected documents, they’re easy to lose sight of once design begins.

In this webinar, we’ll walk through real, requirements‑driven workflows. You’ll see how to move from incoming documents to verified design implementation using Requirements Portal and its native integration with the Altium ecosystem.


What You'll Learn

  • Bring external requirements into your design environment:
    Import requirements directly from customer or stakeholder PDFs and documents, creating requirements projects that’s ready to share with your team.
  • Link requirements to live Altium projects:
    Connect requirements to an Altium project so they remain accessible and relevant throughout schematic capture and PCB layout.
  • Use requirements during design:
    See how designers can reference and validate requirements during implementation to stay aligned and reduce rework.
  • Verify requirements with simple and advanced approaches:
    Learn both lightweight and rigorous verification workflows to confirm requirements are met. Choose the option that fits your project.
  • Generate documentation automatically:
    Create documents like Theory of Operations and traceability matrices directly from your work, turning design data into audit‑ready documentation with minimal effort.

Why Attend?

  • Learn how to keep requirements connected to real design decisions
  • See practical workflows that scale from lightweight projects to structured development
  • Reduce rework by verifying requirements during implementation

Who Should Attend?

  • Product Development Engineers responsible for translating requirements into working hardware
  • Electronics Engineers & PCB Designers who need clear, accessible requirements during design
  • Engineering Managers & Team Leads looking to improve consistency and reduce risk
  • Anyone responsible for ensuring design intent, verification, and documentation stay aligned
