There is not a lot of good information available in writing on requirements traceability. Two data item descriptions (DIDs – requirements specifications for data items) are offered by PPI as a service to the systems engineering community. They are:

Requirements Traceability Report – Requirements Analysis (RTR-RA)

Requirements Traceability Report – System Design (RTR-SD)

Both the DIDs plus several more are available for download by visiting the PPI website.

Do let us know if you find the DIDs useful, or if you have any suggestions for improvement.
