  • Requirements Traceability Practices Guide
    CDC UNIFIED PROCESS PRACTICE GUIDE REQUIREMENTS TRACEABILITY Document Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the project management practice of Requirements Traceability and to describe the practice overview, requirements, best practices, activities, and key terms related to these requirements. In addition, templates relevant to this practice are provided at the end of this guide. Practice Overview Requirements traceability is an activity that is one part of an overarching requirements management practice and extends from requirements definition through to implementation. Requirements tracing is used to ensure that each step of the product’s development process is correct, conforms to the needs of prior and next steps, and conforms to the defined requirements. Requirements tracing is a technique that helps to ensure that the project delivers what stakeholders expect. If applied correctly requirements tracing is a practice that can greatly increase the quality and reliability of a project’s final product while minimizing costly rework resulting from requirements errors. Requirements tracing defines the ability to describe and follow the life of a requirement, in both a forward and backward direction, ideally through each step of the entire product’s life cycle. This is done by documenting and tracking traceability relationships between requirements. A traceability relationship is a dependency relationship between project and/or product elements. Similar to the way a dynamic project schedule may react to a change in one task, a change to a requirement element may also have a rippling effect on other elements. A well documented traceability relationship clearly defines requirement dependencies and allows for analysis of how changes in requirements affect other requirements and the project as a whole.

  • Managing Project Requirements
    MANAGING PROJECT REQUIREMENTS Course Materials The causes of the majority of failed IT projects can be traced to poor definition and understanding of requirements. Changing requirements causes more delays than any other cause. If you want to improve project performance you must improve the way you define and manage requirements. Requirements must be a clear description in a common language. They are the bridge between the customer who will describe, pay for, and use the solution and the technical community who will specify and provide the solution. Requirements must be unique, normalized, linked, complete, consistent, bounded, modifiable, configurable and granular. Participants will cultivate the skills needed to elicit full business information from the right stakeholders and, learn structured techniques to identify and present business requirements clearly and effectively.

    CS 330 Software Engineering Software Requirements Specification (SRS) Tailoring Standards The following description provides the basic document organization, and required information (see the Document Style Guidelines and Standards for information about format). The main thing to remember is that the SRS must contain a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). Each requirement is uniquely identified (using a number) in the body of the document and must be called out in the RTM. Each requirement will use the verb “shall.” Otherwise the statement shall not be considered a requirement. Each item below should be considered required as a major element or section in the SRS.

  • 5 Tips on Traceability to Skillfully Control Change and Improve Quality
    INNOVATION IN ACTION Connect the Dots: 5 Tips on Traceability to Skillfully Control Change and Improve Quality. Overview Traceability Helps You Stay Connected, Manage Change & Improve Quality. Yes! What is traceability? It sounds complicated. Why do teams do it? It sounds like a lot of work. Is it really worth the effort? Good questions. The short answer: Yes. And, here’s why it’s so important: Change happens. If managed poorly, change will wreak havoc on even the most talented and experienced development teams. If managed skillfully, using tools like traceability, teams are better equipped to assess the impact of changes, track the full history, keep everyone in sync and (deep breath) consistently improve the quality of the products being built – every project, every release. Sign me up. In some industries, traceability isn’t an option, it’s mandated.
