Got Traceability?

As a project manager, we spend considerable effort tracking project issues, risks and project schedules. How often do we track business requirements to ensure the requirements are correctly developed?

According to Carnegie Melon’s Software Engineering Institute, requirements traceability is “the ability to describe and follow the life of a requirement, in both a forward and backward direction”. Traceability indicates the requirement can be tracked from its origins, specification, development, deployment and use as the project executes across the project lifecycle.
