Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) — Question 152

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?

Answer options

• A. Roles and responsibility matrix
• B. RACI matrix
• C. Coverage matrix
• D. Requirements trace matrix

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Requirements trace matrix is specifically designed to track the relationships between requirements throughout the project lifecycle, making it ideal for this scenario. The other options, such as the RACI matrix and roles and responsibility matrix, focus on roles and responsibilities rather than requirement tracking, while the coverage matrix is not primarily used for tracing requirements.
