CBAP Exam - Question 6


You are the business analyst for a smaller project where there are few requirements. Management would still like you to create a method to trace the few requirements for this project.

What type of matrix would be best in this instance?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: C,D

To trace requirements for a project, especially even if there are few of them, the best matrix to use is the Requirements Trace Matrix. A Requirements Trace Matrix (RTM) is specifically designed to track and manage requirements throughout the project lifecycle, linking each requirement to its source and ensuring its implementation is monitored from start to finish. This matrix provides a structured way to ensure that all requirements are accounted for and met, maintaining transparency and control over the project requirements.

No mention of Coverage Matrix in BABOk 3.0. Requirements Life Cycle Management should have it. A coverage matrix is a table or spreadsheet used to manage and facilitate the tracing of requirements. This simple approach is used on simple projects where there are only a few requirements or on projects where traceability is very limited and not too detailed.

D. Requirements trace matrix A Requirements Trace Matrix (RTM) is a tool used to track and manage requirements throughout the project lifecycle. Even in smaller projects with few requirements, an RTM can be valuable in ensuring that each requirement is linked back to its source and that its implementation is tracked through to completion. It helps maintain transparency and control over the requirements and their status during the project.

A BABOK v2 question. As per BABOK v3, the correct answer is Requirements Traceability Matrix. The ability for tracking the relationships between sets of requirements and designs from the original stakeholder need to the actual implemented solution.

you can not find"Coverage matrix" word on BABOK V3. ""Coverage matrix" is no longer a valid answer. Either change the answer or drop this question from the list
