Within our organization it is part of our process to complete requirements traceability via a traceability matrix (manual).  Completion rate is high as it relates to tracing requirements to testing artifacts (ID's), but we have this gap in between the two process areas that continues to exist. We haven't received support from a leadership perspective to include traceability for design and build artifacts. The expectation of our process is to identify the section or sub-section of the deliverable for design, and the program, screen, report name, etc. for the build. We have provided value add looking using the perspective of various roles, but the case for change apparently hasn't been strong enough. Is anyone willing to share data, information and/or success stories from organization or that you've come across in the past. Any assistance would be much appreciated!
