Requirements, information about project’s history and information about existing situation of enterprise have important role in successful requirement engineering process during the project and in post-project phases. The first appearance of requirements is in the pre-project phase, then in the project and even in the post-project phase. Each idea and requirement has a history that can be a very important aspect of a successful project and the information system development, management and support. By author’s observation, one of today’s problems in the beginning of an IT project and during the project’s phases is historical information and requirements availability and inheritance. There are situations when specialists need to spend time searching and discovering requirement history instead of studying it. The goal of this position paper is to discuss the problem of poor information and requirements inheritance and to point out the importance of it in continuous requirements engineering.
