Requirements Traceability Matrix

Business Analyst / Project Manager in Orange County, California

The requirements traceability matrix (RTM) ties business goals to specific functional requirements within a project, ensuring that those goals are met and that no functionality is added that is not related to a business goal.  It also sets up a traceable scenario for each test case of each functional requirement and highlights the expected success criteria of each requirement.

GOAL > SOLUTION REQUIREMENT > SCENARIO > USE CASE > EXPECTED OUTCOME > RESULT

Below is an RTM I created for a fictional ecommerce website for a pet supplies store.
