Abstract
The requirements of a software are the characteristics of the system, being identified based on information provided by the users or by experts in the business; and the effective management of this information is essential to ensure that the system meets the needs of those who will use it. According to research, one of the problems that negatively impacts the software development process is related to the conduction of the project requirements management activity. And in order to alleviate this problem, we carried out a research to verify if taxonomies, as tools used by the area of information management, can be applied in the context of requirements management. For this, we developed a taxonomy to meet a real software project and the results were evaluated in relation to its complexity, satisfaction, resources involved and adaptability. The present research is characterized in terms of nature as an applied research, aiming at solving real-world problems; as for the objectives, as exploratory and descriptive; and as for the approach, mixed methods are used, since it combines qualitative and quantitative forms of research in the same study. As for the methodological procedures, the bibliographic research was chosen to understand the concepts related to information management, taxonomies and requirements management. The evaluation results showed that taxonomies can contribute to the activities of the requirements management process and consequently increase the chances of project success.
