What's the best way to link formal specs to JIRA enhancement requests? I want to track changes to specifications using JIRA.

The reason for this, is so that...
If you are re-designing a system, and you are writing a SyRS for the re-designed version of the system, following IEEE 1233 how do you make backreferences to "the old design" and mention what was wrong with it?

This is for several reasons, for example, lack of shared technical vocabulary, incomplete understanding of domain on my part, inability of user to 'imagine' completed UI / product, etc etc. Since this appears...
Hello. In an upcoming project I am supposed to re-engineer a huge Visual Foxpro application into a web-application. The target platform is .Net.

Hi Folks I'm interested in persuing the idea of using Use Case Diagrams as a tool for collecting user requirements. However, it will be for new features as opposed to developing a system from scratch. Also, the system only has a small level of user interaction - most of the actors will be external systems.
