A project team has difficulty understanding the relationship between functional requirements and their associated benefit to the business stakeholders.
How should the project manager improve the team's understanding?
A.
Involve team members in stakeholder analysis and engagement.
B.
Invite all stakeholders to progress meetings to avoid ambiguity.
C.
Ensure team members have access to a well-written requirements traceability matrix.
D.
Engage with the project sponsor and ensure the product backlog is correct and up to date.
The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is a key tool that links product requirements to their origins and tracks them throughout the project lifecycle. It explicitly connects functional and non-functional requirements to business needs, stakeholder goals, and objectives.
According to the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition, “The requirements traceability matrix is a grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them.” This tool enables the project team to visualize how their work supports business value and ensure alignment.
While stakeholder engagement (Option A) and backlog updates (Option D) are helpful, they do not directly provide the clarity and documentation offered by the RTM.
