Correct answer: Create and use a requirements traceability matrix..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is to create and use a requirements traceability matrix. A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) is a grid that links product requirements from their origin to the deliverables that satisfy them. It helps ensure that all requirements are accounted for throughout the project lifecycle and that each requirement aligns with business and project objectives. Familiarizing oneself with the project management plan is a good general practice but doesn't specifically address linking requirements to objectives. Reviewing requirements weekly is a monitoring activity but doesn't establish the initial link or provide a systematic way to track it. Including requirements in the project charter is too high-level; the charter defines the project's purpose and high-level requirements, but not the detailed traceability.
