Requirement Traceability Matrix

A traceability-matrix">Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a tool used in project management and software development to ensure that all requirements for a project are met and linked throughout its lifecycle. It maps requirements to their corresponding deliverables, test cases, and design elements. This ensures that every requirement is accounted for and helps track changes, prevent omissions, and confirm that the final product meets the original needs. Essentially, the RTM acts as a roadmap, allowing teams to verify that they are on track in delivering what was promised to stakeholders.
