 In Scrum we know that requirements are tracked in the product backlog (actually it tracks more than that, but this subset of product backlog items is certainly there). If we are not careful, this quickly leads to the idea that the product backlog is where we do what we traditionally called "requirements management". We end up with the idea that "if we think it is a good idea it should be on the backlog" which results in an ever increasing list of requirements. My view is that this is a problem as, as the list increases, we have an increasing number of backlog items that will never actually get implemented. But we still apply time to managing this list, working on improving how we track this list and so on. As Peter Drucker says "There is nothing so useless as doing more efficiently what should not be done at all." In Scrum we know that requirements are tracked in the product backlog (actually it tracks more than that, but this subset of product backlog items is certainly there).
