Requirements Traceability Matrix Template (Excel XLS)

DESCRIPTION

This product (Requirements Traceability Matrix Template) is an Excel template (XLS), which you can download immediately upon purchase.

The purpose of the Requirements Traceability Template is to ensure that all design, build and test documents conform to the components of the business requirements. The template is used to verify that all requirements are allocated to system components and other deliverables (forward trace). It is also used to determine the source of documented, implemented and tested system changes (backward trace).

It ensures that all requirements are met and helps to locate affected system components when there is a requirements change. This ability allows the impact of requirements changes on the system to be determined, thereby facilitating cost, benefit and schedule changes.

Traceability is an activity that establishes a thread that traces or maps business requirements from identification through implementation. There is a forward and backward element to this activity that verifies that every requirement has been allocated appropriately through design, build (development) and testing.
