Lesson 1.4: Assess coverage

In this lesson, the team ensures that it covers the most important requirements that can be developed and tested for a sprint.

About this task

The planning phase is complete, so the team checks that these tasks are complete:

  • Each requirement has an implementation story and a test case linked to it.
  • Each story is linked to a requirement and a test case.
  • Each test case is linked to a story and a requirement.

These tasks are part of the planning meeting.

Note: This lesson illustrates how each role has a traceability view on the plan. The team lead can use one application to validate traceability.

After completing this lesson, you learn how to create a traceability view on a plan.
