Requirements Management in MS Office

+ Hierarchical structure given by Word sections

- Additional attributes can be described only by a free text

- No unique ID, no traceability

+ Attributes as additional columns - filtering and sorting

+ Traceability matrix

- No hierarchical structure

+ Hierarchical structure + attributes + traceability

- Reasonable manual effort needed for ensuring consistency
