A business analyst needs to ensure that every client need is accounted for throughout the project from initial concept through development and testing. What tool should the business analyst use to map these client needs to project outputs and verify that none are overlooked?
A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) is the appropriate tool for mapping client needs to project outputs and ensuring that none are overlooked during the project lifecycle. It links each requirement to design, development, and testing artifacts. The product backlog is a prioritized list of tasks or features for the development team in agile projects, but it doesn't provide detailed mapping of client needs to project outputs. A Gantt chart illustrates project schedules and timelines but does not track client needs or requirements. The stakeholder register documents information about stakeholders, not client needs or requirements.
