Description

The Projects Traceability (Pj-Tr) domain shows the traceability between capabilities and projects that deliver them.The Projects Traceability (Pj-Tr) domain supports the acquisition and deployment processes, including the management of dependencies between projects and the integration of all relevant project and program elements to achieve a capability.

Programs, projects, portfolios, or initiatives are mapped to the capability for a particular timeframe. Programs, projects, portfolios, or initiatives may contribute to multiple capabilities and may mature across time. The analysis can be used to identify capability redundancies and shortfalls, highlight phasing issues, expose organizational or system interoperability problems, and support program decisions, such as when to phase out a legacy system.

The intended usage of the Projects Traceability (Pj-Tr) domain includes:

  • Tracing capability requirements to projects.
  • Capability audit.
