Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM) — Question 186

How does a requirements traceability matrix help to determine whether a product is ready for delivery?

Answer options

• A. It confirms the completion of all stories in the backlog.
• B. It tracks links between the approved requirements and each work product.
• C. It assesses the quality of test cases and expected results.
• D. It captures assigned tasks and their estimated durations.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is accurate because a requirements traceability matrix ensures that all approved requirements are linked to specific work products, indicating that those requirements have been addressed. Options A, C, and D do not focus on the relationship between requirements and deliverables, making them insufficient for determining delivery readiness.
