4.1 Intermediate: Conducting Change Impact Analysis Spec-TRACER Impact Analysis is key in determining the magnitude of the impact before change requests are approved and implemented. It helps teams make well-informed decisions that align with business objectives and project goals. With the growing complexity and size of today's FPGA/ASIC in which an average design consists of hundreds of requirements and thousands of related elements, running Impact Analysis as part of the change control process has never been more crucial to a project's success.
