Steps
Assess requirements traceability
Perform requirements assessment by retracing requirements with project work products. If there is any issue that is immediately solvable, fix the issue, otherwise record the defect in accordance with the defect logging practice. If a change is required, propose the change request through the change management practice.
Assess requirement attributes
As the project evolves, requirement attributes tend to change. Check whether the attributes reflect the current project information.
Key Considerations
The requirements tend to degrade over time as they evolve. Periodic assessment can be performed once per iteration or milestone.
