The consistent system requirements set is the basis of successful software projects. The requirements change is very usual in a software project, and it may cause inconsistency of the requirements set, and become the key factor that affects the quality of the requirements and the software. Aiming at the problem of requirements inconsistencies caused by the requirements change, this paper proposes a compromise-based negotiation framework to manage the requirements changes, illustrates the efficiency of the proposed method by a software engineering case, gives a contrast experiment with the current mainstream method, and finally gives a comparison with the related work and a conclusion. The experimental results show that the framework proposed in this paper is more flexible and accurate than the results of the current popular framework, so it is more suitable for the requirement changes management.
