AbstractResearch and development (R&D) project requirements have relationships with scenarios, scenario‐based events and other factors, while traditional research does not always include quantitative analysis. Our research proposes a new method for prioritising scenario‐based requirements within R&D projects based on scenario analysis and cross‐efficiency. First, we decompose the scenarios and apply the design structure matrix to demonstrate the inside dependencies. Second, the multi‐domain matrix (MDM) is used to establish a model for the dependencies between scenario‐based requirements based on scenarios and scenario‐based events and the complex network is used to measure the degree centrality between the scenario‐based requirements. Third, the data envelopment analysis is utilised in the integrated cross‐efficiency model, including self‐efficiency and peer efficiency, to evaluate scenario‐based requirements' economic benefits and resource utilisation. Finally, dependencies among scenario‐based requirements for product R&D projects within company A are derived and ranked, indicating the model's validity.
