What is a requirements traceability matrix?

  1. A tool for tracking team member assignments

  2. A budgeting tool

  3. A schedule management tool

  4. A matrix for recording each requirement and tracking its attributes throughout the project life cycle

The correct answer is: A matrix for recording each requirement and tracking its attributes throughout the project life cycle

A requirements traceability matrix is a document that links requirements throughout the project lifecycle. It records each requirement and tracks its attributes from inception to completion. This matrix helps project managers ensure that all requirements are met, assists in managing changes, and provides a clear view of how each requirement contributes to the project's objectives. Option A is incorrect because a requirements traceability matrix is not focused on tracking team member assignments. Option B is incorrect because it is not a budgeting tool. Option C is incorrect as it is not a schedule management tool. The correct answer is D as it accurately describes what a requirements traceability matrix is and its purpose in project management.
