To ensure every requirement is delivered and can be linked back to its business need, a project manager maintains a grid that connects each requirement to its origin, associated deliverables, and test cases throughout the project. Which tool is being described?

Question

Accepted Answer

Requirements traceability matrix. The requirements traceability matrix links each requirement to its source and to the deliverables, design, development, and testing that satisfy it, ensuring nothing is lost and value is delivered. The WBS decomposes scope, and the responsibility assignment matrix maps people to tasks — neither traces requirements.
