Nancy has asked you to trace a particular requirement for her. What does 'to trace a requirement' mean?
A.
Tracing a requirement means to look at a requirement and the others to which it is related. It links risk, cost, quality, and scope elements to stakeholder and solution requirements to other artifacts created by the team and to solution components.
B.
Tracing a requirement means to look at a requirement and the others to which it is related. It links business requirements to stakeholder and solution requirements to other artifacts created by the team and to solution components.
C.
Tracing a requirement means to look at a requirement and the others to which it is related. It links business requirements to components in the project's work breakdown structure.
D.
Tracing a requirement means to track a requirements from its first identification all the way to its completion to see what issues, risks, costs, quality, and defects have surrounded the requirement
The correct answer is B
Traceability does not link risk, cost, quality, and scope elements to stakeholder, it helps to manage risk, cost, scope,etc. Traceability simply links requirements backwards (to stakeholder/source), forward (to solution components) and to other requirements.
According to the BABOK Guide, requirement traceability is the ability to identify and document the lineage of a requirement. This includes:
Its relationships to other requirements.
Its connection to design elements, solution components, and artifacts.
Its alignment with business objectives and stakeholder needs.
Tracing requirements ensures that every requirement delivers value and is aligned with organizational goals. It allows for impact analysis, gap analysis, and validation across the lifecycle of the solution.
Requirement tracing involves identifying and tracking relationships between business requirements, stakeholder requirements, and solution requirements, as well as linking them to project artifacts and solution components. This ensures that all requirements are accounted for, properly implemented, and aligned with business goals. It helps maintain traceability throughout the project lifecycle, enabling better change management, impact analysis, and verification.
Traceability is used to help ensure that the
solution conforms to requirements and to assist in scope, change, risk, time, cost,
and communication management. It is also used to detect missing functionality
or to identify if there is implemented functionality that is not supported by any
requirement.
(Requirements) Traceability is used to help ensure that the solution conforms to requirements and to assist in scope, change, risk, time, cost, and communication management. (BABOK V3, )
Definition:
requirements traceability: The ability for tracking the relationships between sets
of requirements and designs from the original stakeholder need to the
actual implemented solution. Traceability supports change control by
ensuring that the source of a requirement or design can be identified and
other related requirements and designs potentially affected by a change are
known.
A. Tracing a requirement means to look at a requirement and the others to which it is related. It links risk, cost, quality, and scope elements to stakeholder and solution requirements to other artifacts created by the team and to solution components.
