Which of the following describes a requirement that is TRACEABLE?

A requirement that cannot be implemented will mean that the need of the stakeholder will not be met. It is best to identify these requirements as quickly as possible so as not to disappoint the owner of the requirement. This means that your requirements, with respect to the capacity of your project team, SHOULD BE:

• Feasible

• Performance-specified

• Unambiguous

• Atomic

The simple difference between requirements management and project management is:

• The former focuses on what is expected of the product, the latter oversees the scope, cost, and time processes that ensure the success of delivering said product.

• A requirements manager is technical whereas a project manager is the opposite.

• Requirements management is the overall process of receiving clients. Project management is the process of documenting, analyzing, tracing, prioritizing and validating requirements.

• No concrete difference. They are the same.

The team performs acceptance testing and validation to track and measure how the requirements are satisfied. This refers to which stage in the RMP?

• Planning

• Development

• Verification

• Change Management
