A requirements management tool helps you to store the different requirements, prioritize them and manage different versions of them.
Using a requirements tool you can also trace relationships between different requirements.
Every project needs a list of requirements to describe what the stakeholders of the project require. A spreadsheet or a Word document is a good tool to start with but when you have a certain amount of requirements you might need a more powerful requirements management tool. Requirements usually change all the time and to deliver a successful project you need a requirements tool to manage all the requirements.
