Color Coded Requirements Status

The status of a requirement is an important property for project managers and other team members. Enterprise Architect provides a way to display the status of each requirement as a color code in a diagram. The color codes act as a compelling visual cue, allowing team members and other stakeholders to get a quick view of the status of a set of requirements. The color codes are pre-configured in Enterprise Architect but can be customized to suit any team, including deleting or adding additional codes and changing the color of existing ones. The default color codes are:

Yellow for Proposed
Blue for Approved
Green for Validated
Orange for Mandatory
Black for Implemented

A modeler can choose whether to display the color codes for diagrams in a repository, by changing this setting in the Options window.
