Certification of Capability in Business Analysis (CCBA) — Question 177

A project team needs to maintain the traceability of requirements for a software system. Due to the large number of requirements, which of the following methods should the team use?

Answer options

• A. Use a requirements management tool
• B. Create a requirements model
• C. Maintain the requirements manually
• D. Develop a database management system

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using a requirements management tool is the best choice as it automates the tracking and management of a large number of requirements, ensuring traceability. Creating a requirements model may help in visualization but does not provide the same level of traceability management. Maintaining requirements manually is prone to errors and inefficiencies, while developing a database management system is unnecessary for the specific task of requirement traceability.
