The Traceability Matrix

The Matrix view of Work Items enables you to link multiple Work Items of two different types in a single operation. This approach can be useful when traceability linking needs to be managed centrally rather than relying on individual users to link Work Items as they process them day to day. It can also be useful for correcting incorrect or inappropriate links. For a brief introduction to the Matrix view, see Matrix View. Linking with the Matrix view is a topic for Advanced users. To learn how to use this feature, see Linking Work Items in the Matrix View.

Most people will only need to link individual requirements as they create or process them. To learn about this approach, see the topic Link Work Items.
