Dialog “Edit Interest Relationship”

An interest relationship connects a requirement and a stakeholder and illustrates the specific interest that a stakeholder has in the realization of a requirement.
An interest relationship is represented by a grey dotted line with an arrow. The arrowhead points to the requirement. A stakeholder’s interest in a requirement is weighted and noted as a weight on the relationship line.

The dialog can be opened:

• in a requirements diagram via Edit from the context menu of the relationship
