Efficiency in requirements engineering and management (REM) for complex hardware systems is desirable to reduce program impacts, such as schedule and budget. Sandia National Labs (SNL) investigated external state-of-the-practice REM to capture insights, recommendations, and best practices from external entities on several REM topics. Twenty-one at-will participants contributed responses to closed- and open-ended questions. The results were synthesized and are provided herein. The results help SNL and others to understand where its practices are current; what trends, approaches, or processes in REM might be beneficial if implemented or introduced; what challenges might be avoided; where efficiencies might be realized; and which practices are still maturing or evolving in industry and academia, so that SNL can stay abreast of these developments.
