What is a Requirements Traceability Matrix?
A Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a document that tracks the relationship between requirements and their corresponding deliverables. It helps ensure that all requirements are met by the end of the project.
How To Use a Requirements Traceability Matrix:
- Create an RTM at the start of the project to track how each requirement is fulfilled through tasks and deliverables.
- Use the RTM to identify gaps in the project where requirements may not be fully addressed.
- Tip: An RTM is particularly useful for complex projects with many moving parts, ensuring no requirement is overlooked.
