Abstract
This study has been conducted at Scania CV in Embedded Systems Development. It was performed with a focus on systems architecture and support for requirements engineering. The study has focused on assessing the company culture and legacy in order to establish the need and benefit of increased formalization. The paper concludes that formalized requirements management does not exist at Scania today, however a majority of the key informants express a need within the company to increase formalization.
