Traceability

In any complex project, whether it's in software development, engineering, or product design, requirements serve as the foundation. However, requirements don't exist in isolation—they are interconnected and impact various aspects of the project lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing and compliance. Linking requirements is a critical process that creates a web of traceability between them, ensuring alignment with business goals, regulatory standards, and technical feasibility.

Establishing these links allows teams to visualize dependencies, analyze the impact of changes, and maintain control over project outcomes. It fosters collaboration among stakeholders, reduces risks, and ensures that no critical detail is overlooked. In this article, we will explore the importance of linking requirements, the tools and techniques to achieve effective traceability, and how this practice strengthens overall project management and delivery.
