Release Dynamix allows you to define an Approval Workflow for all Requirements.
This Approval Workflow is a set of rules that can be utilized to better manage, track, approve and monitor your requirements progress. Owners and Approvers can then be defined for each step of the approval workflow per Requirement. The assigned users will be able to mark steps as Complete, Approved or Rejected with correspondent Reasons for rejections.
The Approval Workflow can be defined for all Projects or for specific Projects only.

Applied changes will only affect newly created Requirements, but you can easily align existing Requirements to the new Approval Workflow definitions
